I am currently managing an A Cappella group called BCA. We are Berkeley Chinese A Cappella 伯村清唱团, an Asian focus group at UC Berkeley. I have joined this group my first semester at Berkeley, and have fell in love with the group since. We sing a variety of songs ranging from top40 songs to classic Chinese ballads. We have shows all around the Bay Area schools, and we do compete annually in the ICCAs. More on that later in this story.
我在UC Berkeley管理一个叫做BCA伯村清唱团的社团。我们是一个亚洲音乐社团，我上大学第一个学期就加入了这个社团，并且立马就爱上了BCA！我们是一个无伴奏合唱团，唱的歌从流行歌到中文经典情歌什么都有。我们还经常去湾区各个学校表演，也每年参加ICCA比赛。
If you don't know what an a cappella group does, an a cappella group will mash the best of the current music and give them an alternative taste. Using the beauty of human voice to power up the songs with beats. The movie series Pitch Perfect basically tells the story of us aca-people haha. We have actually competed in that competition in the movie called ICCA. It is every bit just like the movie, and it is super exciting. Here's a photo of our group singing in the ICCA competition.
如果你不是很了解阿卡贝拉的话，阿卡贝拉是一种纯人声音乐形式。我们会改编当下最流行的乐曲，再加上bbox动词打次，就非常的欢乐有感觉。如果你看过“Pitch Perfect”完美音调这部电影的话，你一定对阿卡贝拉有所知晓。里面的那个比赛也跟现实生活中的版本相差无几，我们也去比过那个比赛！下面就是一张我们在赛场演唱的照片：
Of course there's me in the center as well hahaha_
我也很自恋地放一张自己在中间的照片哈哈哈：
It takes a lot of work to craft a nice sounding set in a cappella, and the work is truly worth it. When I look back and listen to our recordings, I just feel that all the hard work is worth it. The human voice just have harmonizing magic, to always pull me back to singing with this lovely group.
编排每一首歌曲都很辛苦，但是所有的辛苦劳动都是值得的。当我回顾我们以前的表演时，我就觉得所有的辛劳都没白费，我真的很喜欢和大家一起唱歌。
