The Lafayette groups Cadence and the Chorduroys will sing, along with an a cappella group from the Wheeler School in Providence, R.I., and the nationally known groups Naturally 7 and Five O’Clock Shadow, which has appeared on the Rosie O’Donnell Show.
The all-female Cadence appeared on the Lehigh Valley PBS weekly magazine TV program Tempo on March 1 and 2. The group performed the songs “In My Life” and “Son of a Preacher Man” during a taping held at the Lehigh Valley PBS studio on Feb. 20.
The all-male Chorduroys competed in the Varsity Vocals quarterfinals, sponsored by the International Championship of Collegiate a cappella, on March 4. Dave Campos ’01 (Rochester, N.Y.) earned Best Soloist honors and Josh Brodsky ’03 (Needham, Mass.) was named Best Vocal Percussionist.
The two Lafayette groups gave a free concert at the Williams Center for the Arts on April 6.
Cadence, an all-female a cappella group, performs at a pregame Block pARTy, an annual event focusing on art and music before a home football game.
