| Wednesday August 25, 2010 - Posted by Ryan McCullough |
Hello Again,
On behalf of Drexel University's 8 to the Bar, I would like to officially announce the dates and details of both our fall auditions and the 2nd annual PitchFest invitational. Fall auditions for 8 to the Bar will take place on Thursday September 30th in Hill Conference Room. Please arrive by 8:00pm and you will recieve an audition time. For the audition process, you will need to prepare a 30 sec - 1min selection from a contemporary piece. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you bring a copy of your schedule for the fall term. If you are interested in auditioning for 8 to the Bar and are unable to make this audition time, or if you have any additional questions or concerns about the process, please email me at Rm553@drexel.edu. Good Luck!
Second, I'd like to formally announce that our Fall Invitational, PitchFest, will be held on November 12th beginning at 7:30pm. The concert will feature Drexel University's 8 to the Bar as well as three other special guest groups from regional universities. Admission is free, and the show is open to all audiences. As more information about the concert becomes available (including event location, guest group identities, and more), it will be posted on the main section of our website http://8ttb.net .

This will be an outdoor event on Thursday May 20th keep an eye out for 8Bar and the Octet from 6-9pm on Drexel's campus. We'll be stopping by Korman Quad, The Dining Terrace, Buckley Green, and more for some outdoor performances and vocal jam.

| Spring Concert! |
| Sunday March 7, 2010 - Posted by Levi Toback |
I just figured out how to do this, so I figured I might as well. Our annual Spring Concert is coming soon to a Drexel University near you.
At this time, I can only let you know that the date is Friday April 16th, at 7:30pm. Also, the location is Mitchell Auditorium in the Bossone Research Center on 32nd and Market Streets.
To keep the suspense up, I will be revealing guest group and setlist information slowly as we approach the concert date.
Mark your calendars, we hope to see you there!!
8bar.

| Winter Term News |
| Monday January 25, 2010 - Posted by Rich Price |
| Hey, folks! I know the website hasn't had any new news lately, so I'm here to bring you a little bit of information about what the group has been up to these past few months.
We did a couple performances during the holdiay season, including a performance at the Drexel Holiday Party where we did a couple of our standard numbers as well as a Christmas a cappella piece. We were warmly received and we had a lot of fun!
As far as music goes, we are planning on keeping around a few of our favorite pieces from the past year, but we are also working on a number of new songs that will be unveiled at our Spring concert. We'll have more information on the concert in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out! |

| Fall Auditions |
| Thursday September 3, 2009 - Posted by Rich Price |
Hey Guys!
It's time to start thinking about Fall Auditions. We typically hold auditions within the first 2-3 weeks of classes, in the evening during the week, and have 1 or 2 days that we hold full auditions for people who want to come out. We then have 1 or 2 callback sessions, usually the following week.
If you're interested, you'll need to have a solo piece (WITH WORDS!!) prepared for the audition. (Please no instrumental pieces where you sing a part, or a choral piece where you choose one voice part... we need to hear how you sound on a solo line, pronunciations, etc. This will give us the best idea of how your voice will fit with the group.)
If you've tried out before but didn't get in, we welcome you to come back and try again. Circumstances are different every year, sometimes we need one voice part more than another, so maybe this will be your time to get in. We've had a number of people (myself included) who had to audition multiple times before they were accepted.
For audition information, email us at 8tothebar@gmail.com with "Auditions" in the subject. We will then respond with the information for the audition. We hope to see you there!
