Good Old A Capella

Who knew a capella music could be so much fun? On Wednesday, January 27, Eaglebrook was proud to host its first a capella fest, with groups from Deerfield Academy, Hotchkiss, and Williston Northampton participating. Eaglebrook’s own Ad Libs opened the show with two great numbers. One amazing aspect of the night was the number of Eaglebrook alumni who were a part of these groups. The Eaglebrook alumni performing with Deerfield were: Aaron Cyr-Mutty ’08, John Gundelfinger ’08, Gaelen LeMelle-Brown ’08, Jem Wilner ’08, and Michael Yang ’08. Joe Wichitchu ’07 sang with the Hotchkiss group, and Alexander, “Tank” Paolo ’09 performed with Williston’s group.

 

 

 

“I have always wanted to host an a capella fest for Hilly Chase,” said Mr. Karl Koenigsbauer, “but it was always difficult to schedule. Joe Wichitchu got in touch with me not too long ago, and that got the ball rolling. With his help and with help from Mr. Connor, who emceed the show, we pulled off a great night.” Watch Deerfield’s group sing a few songs, and see some photos from the night.
