<p>UR's singing group the Yellow Jackets will be on the singing group contest show The Sing Off. I think it starts on 9/18. </p>
<p>College singing groups generally don't do well because the show is about showmanship more than singing.</p>
<p>Wow, good for them! I’m a little surprised it’s the Yellow Jackets and not the Ramblers, though.</p>
<p>D has a friend on the jackets and is excited for him!!</p>
<p>If you’ve seen the show, don’t expect much. It’s not really about singing. It’s more like can you combine a dance routine with some circus act and some singing. </p>
<p>I’m not against the show; it’s good to encourage singing and one that rewarded pure vocal performance wouldn’t work as TV.</p>
<p>It’s exciting for the Yellow Jackets and exciting for UofR. Can’t wait to watch and see the campus and school highlighted!</p>
<p>Chedva, I agree about the Ramblers but my daughter is glad they will be on campus her Senior year instead of off. Excited to see them perform Meliora weekend.</p>
