The Drovertones
The Drovertones is a club created to develop comaraderie, and foster a love for Acapella music among students.

We will also be available as a recruitment tool to music enthusiasts, as well as the casual listener. The ultimate goal is to provide an outlet for expression, and provide a place for growth with challenging arrangments. Because of the difficulty of the repertoire, as well as the need for a similar sound between singers, it will be necessary for us to limit the membership of the club through an audition process.
