Each Friday an A Cappella Blog contributor will take a look at both sides of a controversial, interesting, or seemingly random statement related to collegiate a cappella. We welcome you to weigh in on the topic at hand by posting a comment. We also welcome readers to offer up their own statements for our writers to consider, Measure for Measure.
This week’s topic: You never know who may be watching your a cappella group perform, or what your peers may be wearing to a show. When deciding on a ‘uniform’ for a collegiate a cappella group, it’s best to err on the side of dressing formally.

The Beat is a top notch group out of UC San Diego. Members of the group took the time to answer questions from ACB Content Manager Mike Chin.
The A Cappella Blog (ACB): As a new group, has The Beat developed any unique traditions or rituals among its membership?
The Beat (TB): Not any that stand out aside from the ritual S&M session that occurs at our first rehearsal… but seriously, tradition is one of the reasons it is fun to be part of a new group. We get to influence the group’s identity and make our own traditions instead of adhering to ones that were made by people that are married and have children already. The first two years were chock-full simply trying to establish ourselves as a group, but now we can concentrate on the fun stuff. It’s as simple as thinking “Hey, why don’t we…?”

This week’s topic: A lot of the appeal of collegiate a cappella comes from contemporary music choices, and entertaining performance choices, in contrast to more traditional performances from more traditional performance ensembles. With this in mind, a collegiate a cappella show should push boundaries. Skits, multimedia clips, costumes, cameo appearances—bring them all on! The more special attractions at a show, the better.
