[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a popular movie a few years ago that inspired a bunch of these clubs. [/quote] It's the other way around. The rise in popularity of university a cappella clubs inspired the Pitch Perfect movies. Some of these groups are over a century old, e.g. Yale's Whiffenpoofs (1909). It's a very competitive field and it's easily as time consuming as playing a sport.[/quote] +1 The Whiffenpoofs have been around forever, but I think college campus a cappella took off in the 90s. That was the decade when my large state flagship saw multiple new groups formed (still in existence). It was the same decade when UMD's SPAMfest started. [/quote]
