The International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA), originally the National Championship of Collegiate A Cappella ("NCCA", a play on NCAA), is an international competition that attracts hundreds of college a cappella groups each year.〔(Battle of the singers - The Stanford Daily Online )〕 ==History== Founded in 1996 by former Tufts University Beelzebubs music director Deke Sharon and former Brown University Derbies member Adam Farb, the ICCA tournament takes place from January through April in seven regions: West, Midwest, South, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, Northeast, and Europe. The ICCA has been presented by (Varsity Vocals ) since 1999, when the competition was purchased by Don Gooding (a cappella.com, Contemporary A Cappella Publishing). Amanda Newman became owner of Varsity Vocals in 2008 and has produced it ever since. In 2005, the success of the ICCA produced a spin-off competition, the International Championship of High School A Cappella (ICHSA). The ICCAs were profiled at length in the non-fiction book Pitch Perfect by Mickey Rapkin, which lead to the competition's inclusion at the center of the movie Pitch Perfect. The competition is also at the heart of a new docu-reality series "Sing It On" on the PopTV network. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
