A cappella Fest at Wootton

If you’re looking for a fun night out this Saturday, April 25, 2009, head over to >Wootton High School from 7 PM – 10 PM to hear several of our local high school A cappella groups compete. Tickets are only $5.

Last year the First Annual A capella Fest started as an Eagle Scout project by Jack Stonesifer. Although most of these projects involve mulch, Jack came up with the idea of the Wootton High School A Cappella competition resulting in over 110 pounds of canned goods collected for the Manna Food Pantry. The event was hosted by the University of Maryland all male A cappella group, the Generics.

The Generics will be returning as hosts for the second year, with a freshman who participated in the competition last year from Wootton.

These six high school groups will compete:

Wootton Supertonics
Wootton Chaos
Wootton Acabellas
Landon Bearitones
Richard Montgomery In Tune
Walt Whitman’s None of The Above

Here’s the rundown on these fine singing groups from Susan Stonesifer.

Wootton will be fielding three groups on Saturday night. The A Cabellas, Wootton’s newest group, will be the only all girls ensemble of the evening. Featuring strong soloists, the guys of the Supertonics, look to move up from their second place finish last year. Guys and girls mix in Chaos, known for their diverse repertoire.

From across 270, In Tune from Richard Montgomery will be appearing for the first time. Walt Whitman’s None of The Above is returning, looking to score again for best soloist and best arrangement. The Landon Bearitones sing mostly classic songs with great class.

The Supertonics were a guest on our Rockville Central Radio show last year before their delightful performance in front of a packed crowd at Hometown Holidays. Personally, I know a couple of the guys in Chaos. This is going to be a good competition. All of these high school students can do some amazing things with their voices!
