I don't think it'd be a cappella if someone weren't flat or sharp at some point. It's not like this is a studio recording where they can cut things out and splice things back in.
Heard y'all at the Camp Out For Hunger (via the Preston and Steve podcast), great job (from former member of Richmond's Off the Cuff, I swear we didn't copy your name!)
Pros: The guy boxing the beats is bloody awesome. Also, the arrangement is pretty different (mostly in a good way) from others I have heard of this song.
Cons: The male soloist in the black shirt seems to wail a bit flat at 2:05 and again at 2:53. There are also a few other comparatively minor intonation errors. Also, balance in the accompaniment is a little out (could be the recording; I hear a LOT of one female).
I enjoy it a lot. Solid four out of five in my hypercritical book.
man i hope u guys get signed.... i want to join group so bad and i use to be in choir in high school class of 07 but when i go to college this join im going str8 2 choir and music im inlove with music anyways but mannnnnn u guys are amazing
this and claremont are my favorite versions. I like the lead male and female in this one (she's kinda cute too). As for the chorus lead, I like the dude from clare mont better, but this is very good sound especially from such a small group.
sounds amazing, and makes me want to kidnap the soloists. but what is it with east coast groups and conducting? no group in California would be caught dead conducting a beat--it changes your rock group into a choir... :-(
Does the guy in the middle of the back group have to look like that! xD

@Tanegro Yes, he's keeping time for the rest of the group - which usually involves some sort of arm movement/body language.

@zosephine his movements are more exaggerated than most small group choir conductors i've seen :P i think thats more helpful though.

this group has a good sound and nice arrangements but god, that "conducting" would be incredibly annoying in a live performance.
