University of Kansas a cappella group Crimson and Blues will compete this Saturday at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella quarterfinals. The event, which will be hosted by Varsity Vocals, can be live streamed via YouTube starting at 7 p.m. CST.Â
This isnât the groupâs first competition experience: Crimson and Blues has found success with ICCA in the past. For two consecutive years, they were ranked the #1 collegiate a cappella group in Kansas, and last year members Darren Boydston and Ariana Stein won Best Vocal Arrangement in the Southwest Region Quarterfinal.Â
This Saturday marks the first competition of the 2020-2021 school year. Crimson and Blues will compete in the midwest section for a spot in the ICCA semifinals. Rather than performing a live set, all groups must submit a studio-produced music video for the judges to evaluate.Â
