Jump, Jive, an' Wail!

No one can pull off the jazzy, clean-cut look as well as BYU's male a capella group, Vocal Point.
 
I became familiar with Vocal Point when they competed on NBC's Sing Off. Such a fun show and definitely a favorite after watching American Idol for so many years. And it meant so much more because these guys were representing MY school! It's fun to make connections and to see them on campus occasionally. It's kind of like seeing a celebrity haha! I watched the show every week and always cheered them on. You could really tell that the whole audience loved them and they always did phenomenal performances. But above their musical abilities, they also stayed true to their faith and were an example to the millions of viewers across America. They didn't give in to the pressures of the media and were able to help share the gospel and the light that they have just by using their talents. That's really what this blog is all about and Vocal Point is the perfect example. There was an article in LDS Living about Vocal Point that I really suggest reading. It explains their experience while on the show and it's so cool to see how all their hard work really paid off even though they didn't end up winning the competition. Here's the link:
Last October, I had the opportunity to go to a Vocal Point performance during Parent's Weekend at BYU. I absolutely LOVED it! They are so amazing and really know how to put on a show. Each individual member contributes so much to the group and they all blend so well together. It was definitely a highlight of my semester. They sing so many great, wholesome songs and I look forward to all they do in the future as they continue to progress and be an example, to share with the rest of the world what we believe.
