The pops/a capella group sings contemporary and popular arrangements of songs from a wide variety of genres. This group performs at concerts and sporting events, as well as any competitions and events fit for a capella and instrumental music. Additionally, students without vocal experience may join the ensemble as part of the backing band, playing piano, drums, guitar, bass, and other instruments up to the director’s discretion. Additionally, students practice audiation, a critical-thinking skill that helps them understand the patterns of music and identify them in other genres of music.
