While our heart is in the original songs, we delight in the kooky side of a cappella. Being crazy like that, Noteworthy loves to sing so we bring that passion and energy to each and every performance we are privileged to be a part of. With that passion, we like to treat a cappella as a medium for entertainment since we stress not just vocal performance but stage performances and, especially, creativity not just with the original music but with everything we sing! Come see us be creative outside Sather gate every Friday at 2 PM. Auditions usually held at beginning and end of every year.Rehearsals Su,M,W 7-9pm Facebook Profile: facebook.com/nwguys Facebook Fan Page: facebook.com/Noteworthy Twitter: twitter.com/NoteworthyGuys Cal Jazz ChoirCal Jazz Choir is an 11-member ensemble dedicated to exploring the colorings of vocal jazz.
