Smooth Progressions presents opportunities as new all-male a cappella group

There are so many a cappella groups on campus, sometimes it’s tough to keep track. With rehearsals, concerts, competitions and recordings, as well as repertoires ranging from pop to indie, each a cappella group at Elon University boasts its own particular identity. While Rip_Chord has been Elon’s lone all-male group since its establishment in 2006, junior Montez Brown and sophomore Cody Schmidt have broken this six-year precedent by founding newest all-male a cappella group, Smooth Progressions. “Over the past few years I have become aware of the immense amount of vocal talent on campus that often gets neglected due to limited space in other groups and performances,” Brown said.

SGA Senate Meeting: Feb. 21

At the Student Government Association Senate meeting Feb. 21, the Senate approved several changes to its constitution and bylaws in a 42-2-2 vote. As stipulated under the revised documents, a five-member ad hoc markup committee will help revise a bill or a resolution if its author and the executive vice president cannot agree on how to edit it. The bylaws were also revised to grant the executive vice president the power to extend or limit open forum discussions as he or she sees fit. “This validates the powers the executive vice president has already,” said SGA Executive Vice President Connor O’Donnell.
