How does a group like this come together? What makes all of these incredible performers want to try out for such a group? I asked the members of the Treble On Huntington that very question to try to find out. It looks like a couple reasons came to the forefront.
For some, it was just a lifelong love of singing. Treble on Huntington could help them continue something they enjoyed.
Group member Alyssa summed it up by saying “I have always loved singing and fell in love with a cappella in high school when I joined my school's group! I knew I wanted to join a group in college and especially loved the welcoming atmosphere of Treble on Huntington. I felt the most at home there during my auditions compared to any other group and was so glad when I was offered a spot to join!”
Another member, Sarah, echoed that point and took it one step further by adding, “I have always loved singing and I loved the welcoming and loving atmosphere I felt from Treble during auditions”. Clearly, the love of music doesn’t make up the whole reason. You need the right place to grow that love. Which is why member Nat Christopher honed in on Treble on Huntington. “I knew I wanted to continue music in college and I wanted to try something new. I was immediately drawn to Treble's powerful and feminine energy, and tried out as soon as I could!”
Keeping with the “more than just music” theme, some members craved the social side of Treble on Huntington. Group member Mya really exemplified that concept when she said, “I had a really hard year and cut off all of my friends I'd had since freshman year. I started rebuilding my social circle and wanted to be part of an all-girls group of some sort to help me find good people that shared a common interest with me. I also missed performing like I did in high school, so this was the perfect option.” Group member Eve echoed that when she said, “When I began college at Northeastern, I struggled to find a group of kind, supportive girls. I was a performer in high school and being in college without a creative outlet or a solid friend group was incredibly difficult. I decided to join Treble on Huntington not only so I could express my love for music, but also to form friendships with like-minded, strong women who share my passion.” Which I think really gets to the point of any good club.
Those strings of community also pulled on group members Edom, who “wanted to be a part of a community that allowed me to express my love for music and treble was the perfect fit for me.” As well as Shir, “I was looking for a sense of community on campus through a shared interest of music and passion for singing. I also wanted a group of people that share interests and deeper values beyond music, and people I can be comfortable and my true self around.”
So, you want a place where you can pursue your love of music. You want a community made up of some amazing women. But, why Treble of Huntington? Member Mika knew right away. “After seeing Treble on Huntington perform at the Fall Showcase at the start of the semester, I knew right away that I wanted to join. Their bond and energy were so vibrant, and I could see the genuine joy they all shared for singing.”
Another member “really appreciated the healthy balance between working hard on music and also having time to be friends outside of that, and Treble really embodies this!” Which is such an important thing, to find that balance.
Treble on Huntington definitely seems to make a good first impression. Like Mika, Katia was also hooked immediately. “I spoke to them at our fall club fair and everyone was so sweet and seemed so excited to be part of the group that it made me want to join!” Member Toni Rose closed it out by explaining, “Singing has always brought me more joy than anything else so I've always wanted to pursue it, and a cappella is the perfect way to do that. When I auditioned at Northeastern, Treble was the most welcoming and friendly group by far, and I knew right in that audition room that this was the group I wanted more than anything. “
You really can’t put it any better than that.
Whatever the reason, you can sense that every member is glad they signed up for the experience!
