About

The A Cappella Blog operates from January-May of each calendar year. The site remains live during our ‘off-season,’ but little to no new material will be posted during those times.

Mission

The A Cappella Blog holds a three-part mission. The A Cappella Blog:

• Publicizes information about collegiate a cappella in order to foster an international community among fans and performers.
• Enhances collegiate a cappella’s accessibility to individuals lacking technical knowledge in music.
• Archives information and media of and related to collegiate a cappella for public consumption.

History

The A Cappella Blog was founded in January 2007. Since that time, the site has reviewed over 15 International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella competitions. In addition the site has featured interviews with over 40 collegiate a cappella groups, as well as notable individuals in the a cappella community, including Ben Folds. The A Cappella Blog has also published guest posts by a cappella luminaries such as Mickey Rapkin, Deke Sharon, Amanda Newman and Bill Hare.
