Who we are
Mic Drop A Cappella is Duquesne’s first and only competitive all-gender a cappella group. We are currently a group of 16 members from a variety of majors and concentrations. Mic Drop is proudly self-directed with all our arrangements being written by our talented members. We love performing shows on campus for our friends, family, and the Duquesne community, as well as traveling off campus to perform around our community. This year we are also strengthening our group to prepare to return to competition in the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella circuit next school year. Most of all – we enjoy spreading our love for music and performing!
Mic Drop A Cappella provides an opportunity for any student to share their love of music with the entire Duquesne community. Between our semesterly concerts on campus, performing at events such as Night of Lights, and our outstanding annual invitational Beats on the Bluff, we love to get out there and sing! We welcome and invite all students, staff, and community members to come out to our performances, with the hope of bringing a little joy to our campus through our love of music!
What are we fundraising for?
We are raising money to help support our members as we prepare to record and release our 4th EP this year and return to competition next year. This would include paying for professional recordings of our setlist, as well as help cover audition fees for the ICCAs early next fall, as well as other miscellaneous expenses as the year goes on.
With the help of funding last year, Mic Drop was not only able to travel to Penn State University to compete in February, but we also had the opportunity to record our competition set, along with a few group favorites across the year, and released those just a couple weeks ago to all streaming platforms. It was a busy and productive year – and without the help of donors and our incredibly hardworking group – none of it would’ve been possible!
