Pitch, Please! is recording new music and putting out more content!
Founded in 2012, Pitch, Please! is a Northeastern University women-centered treble a cappella group that seeks to empower and inspire others through music. We are a passionate and dynamic group that aims to push boundaries and challenge the standards of traditional collegiate a cappella. We have made waves in the music community by competing in the 2023 ICCA Finals and winning 3rd place, competing in the 2019 ICCA Finals, and winning the title of Best Female Collegiate Album in the 2020 Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards for our full-length album, Obsidian. We have performed on the TODAY Show in New York City for International Women’s Day, performed the national anthem for a Red Sox game during Fenway Park’s Women’s Day Celebration, performed at the Boston Common Tree Lighting, and much more! Additionally, we recently had the opportunity to perform at an event called ‘College Notes’ in San Francisco, California. This event raised money for underprivileged schools and invites 3-4 nationally recognized a cappella groups to perform each year. Getting to perform on the West Coast and receiving invitations to performances there is something we could only dream of and is something that is made possible by our recording and media projects - these make us recognizable. This year, we have increased our media production and as a result, have won an A Capella Video Award for our music video, ‘Paranoia Purple’, as well as won the music video category for the Northeastern Film Festival for our music video, ‘Meteorite.’
Music is an art form that has the power to change the lives of those who listen. Pitch, Please! has worked hard to adopt a sound that is meaningful and representative of our growth over the last 11 years. Pitch, Please! is fortunate to experience such an undeniable sense of community through our former and current members, arrangers and sound engineers, and other artists and lovers of music who have helped shape us into the group that we are. We wish to continue releasing music that portrays our evolving sound and hope to evoke purposeful emotions in our
audiences, which include the Northeastern community and more.
Help us raise $8,000 so we can continue to spread our vision and message of empowerment through our music!
As a women-centered and non-binary a cappella group, one of our main missions is to change the perception of what treble a cappella can be. Given the various stereotypes associated with treble-voiced groups, we are trying to break down these misconceptions through our unique selection of songs and the nuances in our vocal performances.
Simply performing at competitions and gigs can only spread our message so far—but creating more virtual content and recording more music will allow us a broader audience and will help us to keep creating music and media that hopefully inspires people to follow their passions.
Pitch, Please! thanks you so much for your support and we hope that you can be a part of our story!
