The A Cappella Dearborn Club (ACDC) organized an a cappella event on Tuesday, February 20 in Fairlane Center North Quad E. The evening was dedicated to showcasing and celebrating vocal talent, and they did this by offering a stage for those passionate about singing.
The night's lineup included a variety of songs, beginning with Bruno Mars' "Treasure," featuring Leah Williams as the soloist and John Baron providing vocal percussion. This performance set the stage for a series of pieces that displayed the group's musical range and teamwork, involving Quen Williams, Yara El-Haj, and Kaitlynn McKenna.
The versatility of ACDC was on display with "Killshot" by Magdalena Bay, where Yara El-Haj took the lead as the soloist. Followed by an emotionally stirring original song, "Why’d You Have to Go" by Jeric Asencio showed the group's capability to handle a range of musical genres and moods. Yara El-Haj's solo in Billie Eilish's "I Love You" added a deeply emotional element to the evening's performances.
In addition to the planned performances, the event featured karaoke sessions by members, injecting an element of spontaneity and personal expression into the evening. These moments offered a glimpse into the informal and fun side of ACDC, complementing the more structured aspects of the night.
ACDC also previewed upcoming events, including their participation in the "The Essence of Asia" cultural show and the planned ACDC Mini-Concert in early April. These future activities are expected to highlight the club's efforts over the year and continue its mission to promote vocal music.
The a cappella night was an opportunity for ACDC to share their passion for singing with the university community. ACDC's initiative serves as a platform for those interested in exploring vocal performance in a collegiate setting.
