Renaissance is a top notch all-female group out of the University of Maine. Molly Webster took the time to answer questions from A Cappella Blog Content Manager Mike Chin.
The A Cappella Blog (ACB): Renaissance finished first in its ICCA quarterfinal in 2007. What was it like to achieve this in front of a “home crowd” at the University of Maine?
Molly Webster(MW):It was such an amazing experience. We had put so much work into our set and had come such a huge distance in a fairly limited amount of time, we were just so honored. Oh, man, it was fantastic to perform here at UMAINE and to have such great success. The University’s support means a great deal to us.

This week’s topic: Enough collegiate a cappella groups have covered enough songs to make it very difficult for a group to uncover an older tune that hasn’t already been performed to death. Rather than continuing to beat dead horses, it’s best for groups not to look to the past, and rather focus on performing new songs.

This week’s topic: A group has the best chance of succeeding in competition if its material is fresh and new to the judges and audience. Therefore, it is not in a competing group’s best interests to have its performances posted on YouTube or other public websites.
