Dicks and Janes
Dicks and Janes (alt. Dicks & Janes, DJs) is one of the 15 officially recognized a cappella groups of the University of Michigan, according to the Michigan A Cappella Council.〔(Michigan A Cappella Council )〕 Created in 1998, the group continues to perform a cappella music in Ann Arbor, MI and around the country, as well as in the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella.〔(Dicks & Janes - University of Michigan Coed A Cappella )〕 The group is notable for being featured on three Best of Collegiate A Cappella recordings, as well as hosting Acappellooza, a well-known annual invitational concert. The group is coed and entirely self-run and self-funded.
==History==
In the Spring of 1998, a musical theatre student named Marc Smollin decided to form an a cappella group. His goal was to have a musical ensemble that not only would perform contemporary a cappella, but also would explore musical tastes that were less mainstream at the University of Michigan, such as blues and vocal jazz. With the help of two producers, Michael Newberry and Heidi J. Powers, and the musical advice of friend Jessica Murphy, he auditioned over 100 U-M students for what was then an unknown and unnamed group. One month later, the name "Rollicking Crew" was chosen, with intentions of being reflective of the UM spirit. This name, however, failed to exemplify the uniqueness and diversity the group upheld. Hence, a new name, "Dicks and Janes," was chosen in August 1998.
Since October 2000, Dicks and Janes have hosted "Acappellooza", an a cappella invitational concert that brings other collegiate a cappella groups from across the country to Ann Arbor to perform. In addition to Acappellooza, Dicks and Janes also puts on a concert during each semester, and goes on tour during each spring break. Past tours have taken them to the East Coast (1999, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2008, 2011), California (2002), and the Southeast (2000, 2006, 2007, 2010). They have performed with and remained close contacts with many groups across the country. Dicks and Janes has also had the privilege to sing with professional a cappella groups such as Rockapella (2002), Blue Jupiter (2005), and ElmoTHUMM (2005). In addition, Dicks and Janes also performs in many venues around Ann Arbor, including nursing homes, corporate events, Welcome Week events for the University of Michigan, sporting events, and multiple other campus functions.〔
