Off the Record
Lehigh University's Off the Record is known for its high energy and free spirited members. It is the youngest co-ed a cappella group on campus, founded in 2009. They have an amazing time making music together.
Since then, Off the Record has gone on tour to sing with other universities, produced an album and participated in the International Competition for Collegiate A Cappella. They released their debut album, "On the Record," in fall of 2016. You can find it on iTunes and Spotify. They took their album on tour that fall and performed at Kutztown University and The University of Virginia. They had an amazing time jamming with the other groups and getting to know them.
Off the Record first competed in the International Competition for Collegiate A Cappella in 2014, and had a blast. They traveled to Drexel University to participate in the quarterfinals of the ICCAs in 2014 and 2015. Last year, they traveled to Temple University and their very own Kevyn McConolgue won best solo performance. They are excited for this year’s competition can't wait for their newest members to have the incredible ICCAs experience.
At Lehigh, Off The Record has two performances a year, one in the fall semester and one in the spring semester, and participates annually in the Lehigh University A Cappella Kick-Off Concert. They also perform on and off campus on behalf of the Lehigh community and have gained popularity across campus in the past few years. Every spring they host the Hawkkapella Invitational with the other groups on campus, and invite universities in the area to join them for a night filled with talent and fun.
