Interested in trying out for an acapella group?  I joined a very fun and low-key group called One More Round based in South Orange, NJ.  They are holding rolling auditions for a few vacant spots.  Send me a comment if you’d like more information.

About singing:  This doesn’t have anything to do with writing but everything to do with inspiration and personal growth moments.  I joined a newly created acapella group this past spring in an attempt to reconnect with what I loved as a “kid”.  So many of the activities in which I participated in high school and college were dropped when I entered the “real world”.  Years later, as I shuttled kids from one awesome activity to another, I found myself becoming jealous.  And it wasn’t just that they had these great things to go to, it was that they knew what they wanted to do.  So, I allowed myself a moment of introspection and realized that one thing I’d really like to do again was sing.  Once I made that decision, the fates aligned themselves.  I found One More Round, I tried out (scary!), and I got in (happy day!).  It hasn’t been easy – it’s been a long time since I’ve sung acapella.  But I love it.

If you’re feeling the same way, I challenge you to find that thing that makes you come alive again.  If you decide singing is that thing, drop me a line.  We’re always looking for new singers!
