In the fall of my sophomore year, I auditioned and was accepted as a bass to one of the most amazing a cappella groups in Boston, Distilled Harmony. Since then we’ve released multiple EPs, competed in performances across New England, been on retreats to Massachusetts and Maine, performed at a conference in Orlando, and had an all-around great time.
DH was a central feature of my college experience, in part because of the amazing music but mostly because of the people. We’re still a tight-knit group of people who love to have fun and learn together, and I can think of few things more valuable to have in your life.
As I matured in the group, I became the treasurer, and then the president, of the group. Between wrangling our finances and scheduling our conferences, I’ve been able to help cultivate the environment that I loved so much upon my joining. Building community is really the most valuable skill you can have, and DH has taught me so much about community. Check us out on Spotify here!
