Along with a performance by the current Bubs group, the concert will feature four a cappella groups visiting from other universities: the Boston University Dear Abbeys; Dartmouth Aires; The University of Virginia Sil’hooettes and the Yale Whiffenpoofs.

Two other Tufts a cappella groups will also perform: The Jackson Jills and Tufts Amalgamates.
