Who are we?





why do we even exist?

Our group started in February of 2011 when a group of singers found the urge to sing songs that ranged from different music genres. Founding members Ben, Priscilla and Rick decided to put together a group of talented singers, musicians, and beatboxers, to compete in the annual talent show. In May of 2011, the group competed in the talent show at PUC and stole 3rd place with their a cappella cover of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow/I’m Yours mashup” among 15+ contestants. 

The group now performs a variety of songs arranged/composed by student members that fit christian events (Hallelujah, How Great is Our God), casual events (Don’t Stop Believing), sporting events (Star Spangled Banner R&B), and birthday songs (Happy Birthday pop version).

how many are usually in our group?
Usually we have around 14 people but it fluctuates from time to time due to peoples schedules and what not. We try to have at least 2 people on a part. In the future we’d like to aim for about 12-16 people in the group to create a larger, broader, and awesome a cappella sound.

what kind of music do we sing?
We sing anything. Honestly. But to name a few: Contemporary Christian, top 40, classic rock, jazz, pop, rock, contemporary, fun songs. 

NoteThis is reminiscent from the sounds heard from the popular group “Straight No Chaser”, “The Swingle Singers”, “Sonos”, “‘Nsync”, the Sing-off group “The Backbeats”, “On The Rocks” and “Divisi” from University of Oregon, “Decadance” from UC Berkeley, and many more. We are considered part of a larger group called collegeiate a cappella, which conforms under the Contemporary A Cappella Society (CASA).



can I sing with you guys?
YES PLEASE. We need voices! All kinds of voices! Visit our Auditions page for more information. We audition regularly through appointment mostly. To schedule an appointment, email pucacappella@gmail.com

where can I listen to you guys?
Come to any of our performances! We will be putting up a calendar soon on the site so you can find us. 


We are starting a birthday event for people who are interested in having “Happy Birthday alla pop” sung to their “birthday” friend on their birthday! There will be a fee, but it is TBA. We are also considering a birthday cupcake with a candle for an additional cost. This information needs to be booked at least two weeks in advanced so we can coordinate our schedules. 

when & where do you guys practice?
We practice twice a week in the band room at Paulin Music Hall, usually on Sundays from 5-7 and Fridays from 2-4.
