Effusion has been working it out on the street recently to raise money for our summer tour to the West Coast. While it’s been chilly and harsh, we’ve had some pretty hilarious encounters that have made it all worth it! One Sunday, for example, a fellow a cappella group happened upon our little street performance and ended up joining us.
Watch below as we and University of Albany’s Earth Tones magically discover that we both sing arrangements of White Winter Hymnal by The Fleet Foxes!

Back in the November, TV McGill dropped in to watch us rehearse for our Fall ‘09 Concert. Finally up on their website is the behind-the-scenes footage of us preparing for the show! Aside from some lovely music, look for a couple of moderately embarrassing interviews and some seriously physical singing. Check it out on their website: TV McGill: Effusion
Another flashback! This time, to when it was sunny and warm and gorgeous out in Montreal. Yes… We’ve been missing last summer and wishing for next summer so we thought it would be very appropriate to dig out of the closet a picture from Discover McGill 09!
There is always a smaller group of us (usually including some very dedicated alumni). This year the group was Kelsea, Susie, Hannah, Aidan, James, Joseph, Andrew, Mike, and Glynn. Here we are dong our thing for a sea of freshmen:
It was a crazy, canadian-pride filled, amazing moment! Especially standing beside our sistas and brothas from anotha motha, Soulstice.

Even though it has already been two weeks since our Fall Concert at Just for Laughs Studio, we’re still riding that great feeling after putting on a great show. We have all of our friends and family to thank for making the night so amazing!
Here are a few pictures to look back on the show:

See you there!
Auditions are finally over!… Now we can finally breathe a huge sigh of relief after a very long weekend and 150 auditions. Thank you so much to everyone who came out – this has been an amazing year for talent and it has made our job to narrow the selection down that much harder. In the end though, our job is to pick the absolute finest of the voices we heard.
Congratulations to the following 20 people who are invited to join us for callbacks!
