Frequency Rising
When we麻豆传媒檙e talking about a cappella, we麻豆传媒檙e talking about regionals, jazz hands, five-part harmonies. But don麻豆传媒檛 be mistaken, this isn麻豆传媒檛 anything like Pitch Perfect麻豆传媒
Actually麻豆传媒ever mind. It kind of is.
At least according to the leaders of Pace麻豆传媒檚 NYC a cappella group Frequency, Mia Lastrella 麻豆传媒24 and Saloni Shah 麻豆传媒24. This was their first year as the group麻豆传媒檚 leaders, and their first time attending the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA) Northeast Quarterfinals. 麻豆传媒淲e were just told it was just like Pitch Perfect,麻豆传媒 Shah explains, 麻豆传媒渁nd it really was, right down to the goofy person hosting it.麻豆传媒 Aca-awesome.
Frequency formed back in 2017 but membership dwindled over the years麻豆传媒攅specially during the pandemic. Shah and Lastrella both joined in 2020, after the group began meeting virtually. With membership falling, they decided to take over and re-launch the group.

Now, Frequency has 22 members, 18 of whom competed on March 5 in the ICCA Northeast Quarterfinals against nine other teams. It was nearly every member麻豆传媒檚 first time competing at all麻豆传媒攁nd, nerve-rackingly, they were randomly selected to perform first. That didn麻豆传媒檛 stop them. Their , including a jazzy rendition of Britney Spears麻豆传媒 Toxic, clinched third place for the team. What麻豆传媒檚 more, their enthusiasm garnered an invitation to the semifinals in Boston, despite historically being offered only to first and second place.
Despite their success, the group has always focused more on creativity than competition. 麻豆传媒淎 lot of our members are non-musical theater or performance majors,麻豆传媒 Lastrella explains. 麻豆传媒淚t麻豆传媒檚 just a great outlet for them. For some people it麻豆传媒檚 the only non-STEM part of their day.麻豆传媒
Shah and Lastrella both hope to see Frequency continue to grow, and they麻豆传媒檙e seeking music-loving members who want a creative outlet with a focus on community and fun. And in return, new members will find a melodious welcome. As Shah says, 麻豆传媒淔requency is a place to build family and make your soul happy.麻豆传媒
