Cal Poly’s Take It SLO Presents Annual Spring Concert June 5
SAN LUIS OBISPO – Take It SLO, Cal Poly’s a cappella ensemble, will present its annual Spring Concert at 6 p.m. Saturday, June 5, in Chumash Auditorium on campus.
The Spring Concert is Take It SLO’s showcase event of the year. The 15-member vocal ensemble will premiere the students’ many new arrangements of hits by artists such as OneRepublic, Beyonce, and Lady Gaga, in addition to some of its audience favorites.
The group has received statewide recognition in recent years and competed in the 2010 International Championship of College A Cappella (ICCA) quarterfinal competition at UC Berkeley in February.
“Though this band of vivacious musicians is a versatile assemblage of future rocket scientists, CEOs and philosophers, the members share a love for music and an infatuation with having a good time,” said Take It SLO President Amy Lebetsamer. “Fifteen voices, one beat, heaps of energy, and a strive for soul might make you hear the voices of hip hoppin’, pop-rockin’ angels.”
Tickets to the concert are $5 for students with a Cal Poly ID or $7 for general admission. A discount of $2 will be given to those who wear a Take It SLO fan t-shirt. Tickets can be purchased at the door the evening of the show. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Seating is unreserved.
The event is sponsored by the Cal Poly Music Department, College of Liberal Arts, and IRA program. For more information contact Lebetsamer at 310-977-9019, visit www.takeitslo.com, e-mail takeitslo@gmail.com, or call the Music Department at 805-756-2406.
