Mission: To celebrate diversity in musical and performance styles of a cappella music. |
Founded in the fall of 2008, Blue in the FACE A Cappella is proud to be a part of Penn State’s long a cappella history. Since its inception, Blue in the FACE has strived to spread music throughout the Penn State campus, the entire State College area, and across the state of PA. BITF has made it a goal to be an extremely active and diverse organization at Penn State. From music to finance to engineering, practically every major Penn State offers has been represented by a member throughout the years. From alumni association meetings to the Paterno memorial vigil, BITF has been and continues to be a part of numerous important and varied campus events.
The group has recorded numerous live and studio albums, the most recent being professionally recorded and mastered by The Vocal Company, and headlined by A Cappella producer Bri Holland. BITF has acted as a host and competitor at numerous ICCA (International Competition of Collegiate A Cappella) events, and performed joint concerts and workshops with numerous other collegiate groups and musicians from Elizabethtown to Pittsburgh. A strong supporter of Penn State THON, BITF operated for years as an active fundraising group for the pediatric cancer philanthropy - and is still a strong advocate today. Through this process the group lended support to an adopted Four Diamonds family, danced in numerous THON events, and raised tens of thousands of dollars for families in need. BITF produces all of its own musical arrangements, and offers the opportunity for all members to arrange, teach, and perform their own works. So if you want to arrange your own music, you can. If you want to audition for that big solo, you can! Most importantly, if you want to be a part of our musical family, you absolutely can. If you’re a student, keep an eye out for auditions held at the beginning of every fall semester (and sometimes spring) - and if you’re simply a fan, then feel free to come to our free concert at the end of every semester. All of the group's albums are available for purchase as well - and BITF is always available to be booked for events and concerts. Feel free to contact us, we’d love to share our music with you! |
