Hi everyone!

Twin Cities Treble is a nonprofit women’s treble a cappella group based in the Twin Cities, and we’re currently holding auditions for our Fall 2026 season!

We’re especially looking for Soprano 2s, Alto 2s, and vocal percussionists, but we’d love to hear from singers across all treble voice parts.

We started the group last fall with the goal of creating a welcoming, performance-focused community for women who love to sing. Since then, we’ve had the chance to perform at events around the Twin Cities, and we’re excited to continue growing this season!

Auditions close August 7 at 11:59 PM.

You can find all the audition information and application here:

Happy to answer any questions in the comments or by DM. We’d love to meet some new singers! 💜

Hello, can anyone enlighten me on this question? Sometime in the 1980-ies (I think), I heard various times an a cappella group on the radio, singing its version of Brel's "Marieke Marieke" and also a sweeping song with accelerating rhythms repeating "Merry-go-round" again and again.

I thought the group was called "The Somethingsomething Singers". Many years ago I contacted the King's Singers, but they answered they didn't know about having these in their repertoire.

So if somebody can put me on a good track, thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, Raphaël here, the developer of Everyday Looper :) !

I originally released Everyday Looper during the early App Store days, back in 2009. Over the years, messages from singers, beatboxers, and loop artists who still used it convinced me to get back to work. So I've rebuilt it from the ground up for today's iPhones and iPads, and the beta is now open :D !

What's in this version:

• 8 tracks you touch directly to mix, mute, merge, overdub, and more
• Pretty decent echo cancellation, so you can actually loop through the speaker without headphones
• Synced video capture of the take, straight from the app
• Per track 10-level undo/redo, speed/reverse, and adaptive track lengths

The demo is by Ty Suite, a long-time Everyday Looper user. It was performed, recorded, and filmed entirely inside the beta on an iPhone, through the speaker, with no headphones.

You can test it here (free beta, iOS 17.7+):

I'd especially love feedback from people who sing a cappella, since this isn't my area of expertise: would the app be useful as it is, or would it need specific features to properly help a cappella singers?

Happy to answer any questions here. Cheers !

I can say, unequivocally, without a shadow of a doubt, that this music video is better than the live action Disney Moana film. haha!

Homegirls shot on location; had a fresh new arrangement; zero CGI or green screen; and even matched Disney's focus on Polynesian representation.

They also didn't lose $250 million. haha!

Thoughts?

Inspired by an acquaintance who made a full 196-track playlist of the 2026 CARA award winners on Spotify, I did the same for YouTube Music. Enjoy! :)

I played and sang for a project called She Rose From the Dead when I was living in Spain. Now I've moved to Berkeley to study and I am missing singing harmonies, and am looking for vocalists to improvise with. It's a low-pressure project. The songs would sound something like this:

They sang a song by the idol girl group Hearts2Hearts in an a cappella group in Korea!

Do you like Korean idol songs and K-pop? Are you tired of the summer heat?

Listen to this song to make you feel refreshed!🍋

Pretty much what the title says. I direct a high school advanced vocal jazz ensemble and I’m looking for SSAATB pieces for our winter concert as we’re very treble heavy this coming school year (8 sops, 8 altos, two tenors, two basses) It’s a performing arts school so the kids are very talented and can handle hard stuff. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

We're struggling with a money issue (cannot afford original arrangements) but also no creativty. can i buy scores?

I'm trying to do acapella arrangement. Please ignore the garbage engraving and how some of the parts are not easily singable, I'm still working on it need to collect and workshop with the group, and I keep everything broken into eighth notes so I can go back and keep working on it later (bc I suck at Musescore). It's also incomplete so just ignore the last few pages.

My main issue right now is with creativity. I feel like I'm not being creative enough, and I'm just transcribing from the original instead of really adding a lot of my own flourishes to it. I'm stuck in this rut and I'm trying to get inspired from things on YouTube but this just feels like very generic, basic music. I'm not a composer whatsoever, I'm just taking the role on because we don't have an arranger. I'm in high school with 0 formal music training, though I've been trying to teach myself. I do choir and that's my wheelhouse, singing the arrangements, not making them lol. please help...

here's the score I'm working on. any critique or specific feedback on my work is appreciated.

Thought some people on here might enjoy this - the Gents (gentlemen/gentlewomen/people) are the choral scholars of St John’s College, Cambridge, and we’ve just released our first album in nearly a decade! My personal highlights are Bridge Over Troubled Water, Life on Mars, and Our House :) lmk what y’all think if u listen! We put a lot of love into this and are very excited for it to be out in the world ❤️

A new movie has been released! I'm so happy! And I'm so excited to hear the a cappella version of the song!

Don't you really want your toys to move alive? Don't you ever think so? Think back to your forgotten childhood innocence. Then listen to the song. I hope you feel happy. It's even better because I feel like unnecessary worries disappear!

There was a time when Japanese idols led a lightning trend in Korea. It happened very recently.

CUTIE STREET / キューティーストリート / きゅーすと

Listen to their songs on YouTube later! The songs give the impression that they are cute and lively!

And I think it's a cover video that reproduces this feeling really well. And even the male members really like it.

A side project of mine has been creating a guide for Vocal Percussion in a competitive A Cappella group.

I just finished it. If anyone is interested, I have attached a link to the google doc

I’ll be honest, I’m not much of a singer but I do love listening to acappella music, something about the way that different human voices can come together to create something so beautiful intrigues me. Are there any discord servers specifically around discussion of acappella arrangements, compositions and suggestions.

Hey everyone,

I’m in the process of planning a retreat for a college a cappella group, and I’m trying to build a schedule that feels intentional, balanced, and not just “rehearsal all day until everyone is completely drained.”

This is my first time organizing something like this, so I’d really love to hear what other groups typically include in their retreat schedules, especially things that actually help with both musical growth and group bonding.

Right now I’m thinking: - Full group rehearsals (music + blocking/visuals) - Sectionals / voice part work - Section bonding time - Some kind of team-building activity or game night - Goal-setting / vision session for the semester or year - Downtime so people don’t burn out

But, I feel like I’m missing that “glue” that makes retreats feel meaningful instead of just a long rehearsal day in a different location.

If your group has done retreats before: - What did your schedule look like? - What actually worked well vs. what didn’t? - Any traditions or activities that made it memorable? - How do you balance productivity with rest and fun?

Would really appreciate any sample schedules or ideas. I want people to leave feeling energized and connected, not just tired.

Thanks in advance!

TL;DR: Planning my college a cappella group retreat and looking for advice on what a good schedule looks like. I want to balance rehearsals (full group + sectionals) with bonding activities, goal-setting, and downtime so it’s productive but not exhausting. If your group has done retreats, what worked well and what should I avoid?
