MSU Accafellas, Spartan Sur, RCAHpella, State of Fifths, Ladies First, Capital Green and Spartan Dischords performed to a sold-out audience of about 480 people each night, said Daniel Sherwood, president of the Accafellas and primary organizer of the event.

Each group had a distinguishing characteristic that set them apart from each other, such as the groups’ outfit choices or their on-stage behavior.

Ladies First, MSU’s only all-female acapella group, wore black dresses and each girl wore flowers in their hair and different colored heels.

The Accafellas stampeded onto the stage on Friday and sent the crowd into fits of laughter with exaggerated dance moves, while the Spartan Dischords had a penchant for witty remarks mid-performance and impromptu piggyback rides.

On a more cultural note, Spartan Sur melded popular songs in the U.S. with Hindi songs to give a colorful taste of fusion music.

Some of the songs performed throughout the night were the acapella group State of Fifth’s rendition of “Royals” by Lorde, Ladies First’s version of “I Knew You Were Trouble” by Taylor Swift and Spartan Dischord’s mashup of “We Can’t Stop” and “Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus.

Hilena Tibebe, a member of Spartan Sur, said Acapalooza really displayed each of the groups’ different styles.

“It’s a fashion show for music,” Tibebe, a hospitality business and linguistics junior, said.

Sherwood, a history senior, said the responsibility of the show is rotated within the participating groups and this was the Accafellas’ year to host.

The tickets were $5 for students and children and $10 for adults. Sherwood said a portion of the money will be donated to the Children’s Leukemia Foundation of Michigan and the remainder of the money will go to financing any costs the Accafellas might have during the school year.

Kristi Pollum, a Residential College in the Arts and Humanities freshman, sold candy and soda on both nights of the show. The money raised from the concessions is going to a different cause than what the ticket sales generated.

“Specifically selling the concessions, the money is going straight to feed the hungry in Africa,” Pollum said. “We’re going to buy them goats.”

Pollum said the goats could be used to produce milk and cheese and would eventually serve as meat.

Althea Davis, a member of Ladies First and an elementary education sophomore, said the acapella community is extremely supportive.

“I think it’s incredible that we get to come together and collaborate,” Davis said.
