2011 Participating Groups
 | | Eclipse 6
Eclipse is a vocal group of six creating explosive sound, driving rhythms, and lush harmonies using only one instrument: the human mouth.
The six members of Eclipse originally met while performing in a public relations /ambassador-oriented group that was part of the department of Programs and Entertainment at Utah State University. They began by arranging their own vocal covers of popular songs and performing them on campus and in the Logan area. Increasing public interest and performance opportunities led to the recording of their first album, "Once," which was released in April 2001.Members: Karin Bennett, Henry Bradford, Amy Brinkman-Davis, Dan Caprera, Cody Carbone, Brett Conrad, Ali Fanucchi, Molly Bedard

details of the event, which you can see by clicking here. All groups must audition in
order to compete. Generally this is done by sending a current tape

purpose of the audition is to make sure the group is appropriate for

order. If a group has competed previously, the audition process may
be waived.
