[quote=Anonymous]I was in show choir in high school and a regular concert choir in college (graduated 1990).  Met my husband in college choir.  There wasn't any prominent a capella only group on campus - I'd say the Men's Glee Club came closest.

In grad school at Michigan, I attended an Amazin' Blue concert and was hooked on the format. I liked to introduce work friends to it after I graduated.  A capella makes for a fun contemporary song concert.  That was years before Glee and Pitch Perfect.  And there were already several other groups on campus.

I have seen kids live and recorded and generally their live performance is fairly equivalent to their recorded performance.  I listened to Amazin' Blue's Star-Spangled Banner over and over again after 9-11.  It was a tribute version they did in concert that school year.

I also like some videos by BYU VocalPoint.  "You Will Be Found" and "Go The Distance" are very well done scripted videos featuring chorus members.  Similar to the Penn Masala video above - which I quite liked.  Thanks to whoever posted that.[/quote]
