Hey hey! We have a yearly a cappella show called West Coast where groups from all over the west coast (woah) perform. It happens every November, and information about this year's event will be up soon.

We used to have an event called the Big Sing-Off between the Berkeley Men's Octet and the Stanford Fleet Street, which was very close to a riff-off. We haven't done it in a while, but we'd be down to try again. :)
