With Halloween right around the corner you can feel the pulse of campus increase with vigor.  Halloween is often the most anticipated celebration throughout the school year, and for good reason.  It’s the one time throughout the year that people can dress up, take on different identities and enter a world that resembles something out of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.  Although Gimble A Cappella may not be ready to take on the likes of Rocky Horror, they will put on a fabulous show at their 2nd annual Halloween a cappella show, Spookapella!

This  year, Gimble will host Maize Mirchi, Michigan’s premier South Asian a cappella group, and The Harmonettes, one of three all female groups on campus.  Gimble will also welcome special guest Scotch Tape, who are coming all the way from Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota to open the show and will begin singing at around 6:45pm.  It should be a great night of a cappella!

Here’s the rundown…

Who: Gimble, The Harmonettes, Maize Mirchi & Scotch Tape

Where: Angell Hall Auditorium D

When: Friday, 10/29 @ 7:00pm

Price: $5 Adults/Students, $3 Children

Enjoy the show!
