Sirenity a cappella singers
by Ben Goff
News Editor
The Sirens of ancient Greek
mythology were female
creatures with irresistibly
beautiful voices. From their
lonely island they sent their
songs out across the sea where
unwary sailors would be lured
by their charming sound and
crash their ships on the rocky
shore.
Famed character Odysseus
escaped the sirens by having
his men plug their ears with
wax, which will be uimecessary
when the women of EC’s
Sirenity a cappella group begin
to sing.
This cleverly named group,
was founded in 2005 by BC
Student Lisa Laurene, who felt
that that school was missing
something by not having a
women’s a cappella group.
According to Sirentiy
director Dorothea Berry, the
group “wanted to start
something for girls that weren’t
only interested in classical or
jazz music.”
Since its inception, Sirenity
has performed at many venues,
including Chamber and
Concert Choir concerts in the
Porter Center and special
events such as the annual
Christmas tree lighting
Retraction: Dance
Dance Revoluntion
Contraiy toa formerly printed Clarion staff would like to take
article, the Dance Dance this opportunity to apologize
Revoloution Club was not for the misinformation,
approved by the SGA. The
ceremony held each December
Berry also has high hopes that
the future of the group may
include quality recordings and
performing abroad in addition
to just singing more often and
establishing themselves as a
permanent presence on the BC
campus.
“Being a member of Sirenity
is almost like being part of a
family. You are all there for each
other, and singing with these
girls brings you all closer
together,” Berry said.
The group is audition-only,
but the girls of Sirenity
welcome others to come listen
to their rehearsals each
Wednesday night at 9:00 p.m.
in the band room located
downstairs in Dunham.
Sirenity next performs at the
Chamber and Concert Choir
concert on Sat., Nov. 3. The
concert will be held in the
Porter Center and is free of
chaige. You need not fear being
washed upon the rocks, but
you will surely be enthralled by
the singing of Sirentiy.
