National a Cappella Championships

On the evening of July 30th, 2007, the Freestyle R&B a Cappella group "Altered", won all of three separate awards in the National a Cappella Championships 2007.

After just 18 cumulative hours of training and practice, the freshly formed team battled their way through the semi-finals on the 26th of July, and eventually went on to claim the Junior College category Championship, the Overall Audience Favourite award, and the Best Beatboxer award.

With a group consisting of Matthew, Wei Xin, Shah, Aimran and Ryan (4 Singapore Polytechnic students and 1 Temasek JC student), Altered received compliments on its fresh performance style from known performers, conductors and musical notaries such as Babes Condes, Imran and vocal component of the Hip-hop R&B group, Juz B.

With the musical and performance advice of Joe Goh, Altered has succeeded in stunning the audience and professional musicians alike with their vibrance and audacity.

Following the Championships, Altered will be performing alongside the Senior College and Open competition category in Sonic Landscape.: a Cappella Festival 2007 on the 4th and 5th of September, and also featuring in the Singapore Polytechnic Choirs' concert; Debut: Musical Mosaic.
