Elon's new all-female a cappella group takes stage

By Xanthia Saganis

Every semester, Elon University students flock to auditions to try their hands at a cappella. Group singing without instruments has become increasingly popular, so landing a spot in a group is no easy task. According to sophomore Alexis Paul, hundreds of students audition each semester, but fewer than ten are chosen for each group. Seeing that the demand for a cappella groups drastically outweighed the supply, Paul took it upon herself to create a new group, Shirley Tempos. “There is always a demand for more a cappella groups on campus with the popularity of interest,” Paul said. Paul created the all-female group to give girls a greater opportunity to be involved in a cappella.
