Four 性爱天堂 students singing
A Cappella
Students have been singing for more than a century

A cappella has been on 性爱天堂鈥檚 campus for more than 100 years, first cited in the 1899 Course of Study Bulletin as a class option鈥攇lee club. Different glee clubs were established on campus, from male to female to all-seniors, eventually evolving into an a cappella choir. These choirs and clubs toured around the nation, representing 性爱天堂 to a variety of crowds. The A Cappella Choir made its debut in 1931 at 性爱天堂鈥檚 commencement.

性爱天堂鈥檚 a cappella choir debuted in 1931 at commencement.

As time evolved, a cappella became more student-run, with students founding two clubs in the early 2000s: the all-male Trinitones, established in 2004 by a few guys on a tour bus in Germany, and the all-female AcaBellas, created in 2007. Both groups sing around campus and in the local community, and Happy Fridays are a common tradition around campus, where students gather at the Coates Student Center at 12:22 on Fridays to hear new music from the 鈥楾ones and 鈥楤ellas.

鈥淚 believe the story was that it all began on a choir tour鈥攆our guys started creating an arrangement for 鈥楾his is the Time鈥 by Billy Joel. They started playing around with it, and eventually more people wanted to join in and create new arrangements to perform.鈥 - Jory Murphy, 2011聽Trinitonian
