NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ -- Only Jersey could do a cappella like this.

With seating at a premium, the Rutgers staff took matters into their own hands at the sold out show.

“Everyone must move to the sides or the show will be canceled!” decreed the Rutgers Student Center building manager.

“I’d like to see her try,” one elderly audience member cracked. Others chimed in their support with comments that aren’t exactly re-printable on a family website.

But you couldn’t blame the staff for trying. The hall was sold out and a waiting line several people deep spanning from one end of the Rutgers Student Center to the other had to be turned away from the garden state’s first Varsity Vocals International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA) semifinal last Saturday (3.4.06).

Instrument-Free The Way To Go On College Campuses
Written by Jackie Burrell / Contra Costa Times

WALNUT CREEK, CA -- First, college campuses. Tomorrow, the world.

A cappella, the instrument-free music form popularized by barbershop quartets and glee clubs at the turn of the 20th century, has exploded on the college music scene. It even stars in a new indie documentary. But if you're thinking "Sweet Adeline" or a little shoop shoop, doo-wop, think again.

Modern a cappella is a little Coldplay, a little Boyz II Men and 20,000 college-age singers whose voices can soar -- or sound like a drum set.

"They're using voices as instruments, textures, vocal percussion," said Deke Sharon, founder of the Bay Area-based Contemporary A Cappella Society of America. "They've gone from singing Simon and Garfunkel to U2. All of a sudden, everyone's a rock star on campus."
