USC Brings "Pitch Perfect" To Life

The University of South Carolina has three established a cappella groups (for those of you who don't know, a cappella is a genre that creates all music without instruments, only vocals), all of which are culminating this Spring semester with song! When you're racking your mind for new ways to procrastinate on studying for finals this weekend, I suggest you make your way to the performances of some of USC's most talented, hidden gems.


1. The Carolina Gentlemen

The Carolina Gentlemen is USC's all-male a cappella group. What's better than boys singing in bowties? Not much. The Gents bring their A-game to every performance, and can be seen this Sunday, April 26th at 7:30 at USC's Public Health Auditorium for their final concert of the semester. The boys will perform songs new and old, featuring some of their senior soloists as the group bids them farewell.

For more information about The Gents and their upcoming performances, visit their Facebook or Twitter accounts.


2. The Cocktails

The Cocktails are USC's all-female a cappella group. With these vocal vixens, a cappella has never been more intoxicating. Their final concert will be held this Friday, April 24th at 7:00 in the Williams Brice Nursing Building Auditorium. This performance boasts a mix of classics, your current favorite pop and country songs, as well as some throwbacks that are sure to have you reminiscing on your favorite era-- middle school. The Cocktails also plan to celebrate the release of their third album with an album release party.

For more information about these events, and to keep up to tabs with these sassy singers, make sure to check out their event page on Facebook as well as their Instagram.


3. Cockappella

Last but certainly not least is USC's premier coed a cappella group, Cockappella. Because the only thing better than an all-girl or all-guy singing group, is one that combines the magic that both have to offer! I actually have the pleasure of being a member of this group of talented, singing weirdos. Cockappella's final concert will be sure to wow you with some old school throwbacks, as well acca-awesome pop hits featuring an unexpected punch. On Sunday, April 26th at 5:00 at Jake's in Five Points, celebrate the end of the semester with a group of talented, fun musicians (and a pitcher of beer... or three). Also make sure to check out Cockappella on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and now Soundcloud!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
