The OrphanSporks

ICCA FuUuUnNN

So if  y’all didn’t already know, we JUST competed in the ICCAs on Saturday, the 9th! It was an all around amazing, crazy experience. We put  endless hours a week into practicing and rehearsing and we definitely felt the heat, but it was all worth it in the end because we gained a truly unforgettable memory and experience with it. Although us lovable Sporks did not advance to Semi’s, we definitely enjoyed ourselves on stage and came to realize so many different things about competition. A learning experience, nonetheless is the best way to look at it We are so happy for the groups that did advance and we wish them the best at Semi’s! Competition is NO JOKE and although working our butts off didn’t get us the trophy in the end, it taught us so much more about ourselves and that is a prize within itself

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE ALUM, FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO WENT OUT IN THAT HORRIBLE BLIZZARD TO SUPPORT US! WE LOVE YOU GUYS FOREVER!

Winter Concert FUN! 2012

As many of you know, we had our annual, final concert of the semester on December 7th- our Winter Concert! We performed our entire rep (9 songs.) It was awesome because so many of our families and friends within and outside of the Rutgers community came to watch all the hard work we’ve been putting into this concert! The Sporks Alumni (Katherine Geithman, Reginald Harrison, Dan Braff, Daniel Portilla, Sam Paul, Josh Stopek, David Rabizadeh and a couple others) came and got to sing the Alumni song “Love The One You’re With” with us. It’s always great to be able to sing with ALL the Sporks!

If you were not there, I posted some links of songs we performed!

More to come!!

Thank YOU ALL FOR COMING and SUPPORTING

And for those who donated to the Sandy Relief, A MILLION THANK YOU’S!

We’re In It To WIN IT! ICCA Quarterfinals!

WHATS UP ALL!
As of TODAY we are officially COMPETITORS in the ICCA Quarterfinals Competition in the Spring! We are so excited and thrilled to see what competing will be like since it will be the first time for so many of us in the group! It’s definitely going to be a lot of hard work and so many determined hours to rehearsing, but it gives us more of a reason to be with each other outside of regular rehearsals and if there is anything we love more than rehearsal, it’s EXTRA REHEARSAL

We are looking forward to the extra time put in and the rewarding success we will get out of it! The last year the Sporks competed in ICCA’s was in 2010, so we are determined to GET DOWN AND DIRTY, WORK HARD AND HAVE FUN!

THIS TIME Y’ALL, WE’RE IN IT TO WIN IT!

5th Annual A Cappella 4gy Concert!

HEY GUYS! Before we update you guys on how amazing our 4gy Concert was, we just want to wish and hope that everyone is quickly recovering from the terrible Hurricane we had. We hope that everyone affected by that cruel Sandy is safe and is able to return to normal routines soon. Sandy was the main reason why we were not able to update you guys earlier, but we are here now and we want to thank everyone that came out to the 4gy, it was a huge success!

The 4gy, if you all don’t already know is an annual halloween concert on campus that 4 awesome a capella groups put together to bring all of the Rutgers Community together. Shockwave, the Disney princesses, Deep Treble, the cute animals, Casual Harmony, the dead celebrities and the OrphanSporks, the sexy sailors & pirates brought everyone to the edges of their seats with musical excitement on the spooo0o0oky night of October 26th, 2012! It was an awesome night filled with synergy that could last for days and music that made everyone’s ears happy. It was a night where Rutgers students, Rutgers alumni, parents, siblings and friends got together to support all the hard work that goes into this concert. We really enjoyed it and we love you all for coming out and supporting us.

Our next concert is our Winter Concert scheduled for December 7th! We hope to see you all there as well!

Until next time!
