If you're a singer but not enrolled in the School of Music, you can still have your voice be heard. Travis Tyler has the story in this Bobcat Update.

SU: It's right behind me inside Texas States music building where some of the most musical students and professors on campus can be heard. Among those, one student run organization where some talented individuals come together using only their voices to create a truly unique sound.

If you listen outside room one-twenty-two on a Tuesday or Thursday, chances are you'll hear the sweet sounds of The Echoes, one of Texas State's a capella vocal groups. Active since 2013, the group recruits singers from all over campus. It requires only basic singing skills and enthusiastic energy.
SB:
Last year the group competed in I C C A 's nationwide competition, and it advanced. The competition, which draws a cappella groups from across the U-S, is much like what you can see in the movie Pitch Perfect. Last year The Echoes placed fourth in the semi-finals and hopes to advance even further this year.
SB:
When not working on their competition set, members practice at local gigs around town and enjoy new experiences.

Further information about The Echoes can be found on the group's webpage echoesacapella-dot-com. There you can learn about upcoming performances as well as booking and audition information. (NAT SOUND) For Bobcat Update, I'm Travis Tyler.
