Join the After School Specials, one of the Claremont Colleges' own A Cappella groups, for an evening of live music. Characterized by their upbeat attitudes and forest green attire, the group sings a range of songs, all arranged in-house by their talented music directors. The After School Specials have performed and recorded at exciting locations including The Beacon Theatre, The Fonda Theatre, Diane Warren's recording studio, and the White House. Most recently, they performed at the 2024 Quarter Finals ICCA competition, where they not only placed first overall but also took home the special awards for best choreography and best arrangement.
Beyond their accolades, the After School Specials believe in creating a space for passionate individuals who share a love for making music, regardless of their backgrounds or levels of experience. With members as diverse as the music they sing, the group's singers hail from all corners of the 5Cs, country, and world. They will perform their 2024 ICCA set, A Cappella arrangements of other songs, and additional acoustic performances.
[Registered guests are welcome to our usual 5:30 PM reception and 6:00 PM dinner. The performance--open to the public with no registration necessary--will begin at 6:30 PM.]
