 In Accord is one of Boston University's many co-ed acapella groups. They began in 1990 and were the first co-ed group to come to campus. However, there is more to an acapella group than just hitting the right notes. Choosing the right songs for the group is one of the biggest challenges. We try to choose songs that are going to be like big next semester which can be hard sometimes. So we try and choose songs that are present day and like popular now and we also try to do some throwbacks because everyone likes to get throwback. We do a lot of different genres. I think we mostly do pop, but we do like jazzy songs, we do rock songs, we do like hip-hop, R&B, so a lot of different things. So in the songs we're singing this semester we're going to be doing Grand Theft Autumn Where's Your Boy by Fall Out Boy. We're doing a mash-up of many Macklemore songs called The Mashlemore. We're doing Army of Two by Ali Mears and as well as Next Me by Emily Sunday. I Know Your Trouble by Taylor Swift and then a bunch of other ones are Style. I don't know if I would say go as far as to say that in accord has a distinct style. The way I like to think about it is it's just good music selected by smart people. It takes more than just great voices and good songs for in accord to thrive. Hard work and dedication are also key elements in helping them be a successful and well-respected acapella group on campus. For BU News Service, I'm Caitlyn Figtal.
