Musical Director Lilly Sterenberg PZ ’20 soloed in an upbeat performance of “Be the One” by Dua Lipa. When it came time to do a practice performance, the singers gathered around me and two other members who were seated in the audience. “It’s awesome because we get to share that passion with so many people.” “Everybody here is so passionate about music,” Ragsdale said.
But even then, members were discussing which parts of the singing to fix, determined to perfect their sound.
It sounded flawless to me as I sat in the corner of the room. Naturally forming a circle, Women’s Blue and White began to practice their first song, “The Love Club” by Lorde - a signature for the group, who had already performed the song at multiple performances. The singers made jokes and occasionally burst into song. Even in the midst of their discussion, the environment was highly laid back. They decided on a repertoire that combined some of their classics from past years and a few new arrangements of modern songs. Their voices complimented each other beautifully, the resulting sound incredibly harmonious.Īfter warmups, the group began planning for upcoming events, most notably their performance during Family Weekend (Feb. There was no tuning or note-matching needed. “When someone in my group asks me how I’m doing, they really want to know how I’m doing.”Īs soon as Kelly Ragsdale PO ’18, president of Women’s Blue and White, called the rehearsal to begin, everyone shifted to their game face - and like clockwork - the warmup began. “The best part about being in a cappella is the community,” said Miranda Mattlin PO ’21, Women’s Blue and White member. The bond between the members was immediately evident. There was a lot of catching up, joking around, and even fruit juggling.
The ladies of Women’s Blue and White, a 5C a cappella group, filed in one by one, hot tea in hand, music sheets in the other. The rehearsal began like any hangout between a group of friends. Megan Chang PO ’21, Marina Romero PZ ’20, and Lindsay Chu PO ’21 of the Women’s Blue and White acapella group rehearse a repertoire that combines some of their classics from past years as well as new arrangements of modern songs.
