The Melodores have an exciting announcement. Last weekend the Melodores flew to New York City and competed in the ICCA finals. Up against the top 5 groups from across the US and the champion of the UK, the Melodores wowed judges and fans alike, placing 3rd overall in a strong field of competitors. The 2nd place team, Vocal Point from Brigham Young University, won the competition in 2006, while the champions Pitch Slapped from Berklee College of Music finished in 2nd place last year.
The Melodores were picked to start the show, performing a twelve-minute set that started with the energetic "How Low," shifted to a heavy "Strange Fruit" followed by a more hopeful "Change is Gonna Come," and ended with the eerie rock song "Supermassive Black Hole." The strong set apparently hit home for the judges, who picked the Melodores as the third best collegiate a cappella group in the world. The choreography for the set was also a hit, as Ben Edquist won an individual award for Best Choreography of the night.
The Melodores are the youngest group to ever advance to the finals, and the only group from Tennessee to ever do so. The Melodores' 3rd place finish is an exciting accomplishment, to say the least.
