Vocal point was originally founded in 1969 as an ensemble of 12 women accompanied by a piano simply called 'Women's Ensemble'. Gradually, the group began performing more songs without accompaniment, and by the early 1980's the group was fully transformed into the all-female acapella group that Vocal Point is today.
In 2000, our recording of "Still In Love" was selected for and now appears on Best of College A Cappella. In 2005, 2006, and 2008, we competed in the International Competition of Collegiate A Cappella and, in 2008, won first place at quarterfinals! We also won "Best Soloist" for Kristy Doot's rendition of "Wishing I was There", by Natalie Imbruglia, and Polly Flinch won "Best Vocal Percussion." In 2009, we were nominated for two CARA awards: Best Female Collegiate Song (The Walk) and Best Female Collegiate Solo (Bonnie Jarrett, Stay).
This past Spring, Vocal Point also won a Student Life Award from the University of Rochester for our co-sponsorship of "Rock Out for Leukemia Research: A Benefit Concert" in honor of one of our current members who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia this past September.
Update: she is currently CANCER-FREE!
We're currently in finalizing our newest CD, Daylight Again, with Liquid Fifth Recording Studios, which is set to be released June 2012. For more information on purchasing Daylight Again in June, please email us at vocalpoint@gmail.com
