Mission: Shades of Blue is a co-ed contemporary a cappella group founded in 2003 that seeks to: improve the standards of a cappella at Penn State University-University Park, further members' musical awareness and understanding, expose students and members of the community to a cappella music. |
Shades, as we like to refer to ourselves, pride ourselves in being the most diverse group on campus, taking on majors, personalities, and backgrounds of all sorts. We don't just sing, we entertain.
Mark Lehnowsky founded the group back in the fall of 2003, during the years of “bad” Penn State football. He needed something to take the place of his Paterno obsession, and Shades of Blue was born. Mark grabbed his musically inclined friends and started singing a cappella. As a young Composition major, he arranged his favorite songs for the group to perform. Nearly 9 years later, the group has ranged from 7 members to 26 members. |
