Every room backstage was filled with performers getting ready, as they were putting their final touch ups on their makeup and outfits. Each group practiced every harmony and chord in their songs, perfecting the tune together. The 18th annual Spring Thing was about to begin, and it was put together by music director, William McIntosh, at the Sophia B. Clarke Theater.

The curtains were pulled up as the bright lights hit the stage. Before you know it, the performances began. The singers in the all-male acapella group, Fermata Nowhere, each sang in unison and in perfect pitch as they danced with a choreography that worked so seamlessly together. The solo performances brought something different, though. One song gave you goosebumps because of how powerful and emotional the singer would express, as if it reached the core of your soul. The next performer would bring your spirits up with the funny lyrics that made you laugh with glee, tapping your foot and clapping your hands along with the music. The singers sang songs from well-known artists, musicals, and even did mashups of several different songs, each one a masterpiece brought to the stage. Although it may be the last for some people, this year’s Spring Thing was definitely one that will forever
be treasured.
