The Claremont Colleges have a number of different A Cappella groups ranging from the Claremont Shades (the group hosting the festival) to the Kosher Chords. Not only did the various Claremont groups perform tonight, but there were some groups from other schools in the area (USC and UCLA), including a group which made an appearance in the new movie about Facebook, "The Social Network."
One of the perks of being a Freshman is that the upperclassmen are always providing free opportunities to go to such events, so I was able to get a free ticket to the show. It was located in a very large and impressive auditorium on Pomona, so there were a lot of people in attendence.
Overall, it was a lot of fun! Many of the groups were absolutely wonderful, and everyone was full of energy and excitement. It is no surprise that there were a large range of songs (the 12 groups each did 2 to 3 songs), and the performers and audience alike were energized and excited throughout the whole festival.
It was the 15th annual Scamfest festival, and it was absolutely great. It is a wonderful thing to have on campus, and I am really glad that I was able to go, and will certainly consider going again next year.
