This is a great arrangement. Great build all the way through (I think better than the original studio Sufjan version which runs way too long, in my opinion). I just think the very ending is a little short. I can hear it repeating "I made a lot of mistakes" one more time and then cadencing on some kind of settling hum perhaps. Great job though!
this sounds great! i found your arrangement on Better A Cappella and i want to buy it, but no one has responded to my email. check your arrangements email!
Hey Dicks and Janes! I'm a high school student and I'm in a a capella group at my school. We're looking for a song to perform in our huge school talent show and really wanted to try this song but we don't know where we can get the arrangement. Do you know where we can find it? Let me know!! Thanks!
the background's excellent. a little slow but the sound is dead on. soloist a bit flat at times during the chorus but otherwise he's solid. The choral sections are great. I think it would help the soloist a great deal if this was sped up, but then again it may take away the intricate background.
by far the best interpretation of 'chicago' that i have seen
you guys did this beautifully. you captured what a cappella really is about. at parts i can't even tell that voices are singing the accompaniment; you actually sound like instruments.
I saw them live at NYU during the Mass Transit show too. I was very impressed and I enjoyed their opening act more than the MT show - and that never happened before!
go blue!

By far, the BEST a capella version of Chicago ever done. I get chills everytime I hear them sing it. Anyone know where this group is from?
