Best of College A Cappella

Each year, Varsity Vocals produces compilation albums of the Best of College A Cappella and Best of High School A Cappella, featuring the very best tracks from groups around the world.

Varsity Vocals accepts hundreds of submissions every year, and being selected to appear on this album has become a valuable mark of accomplishment in the a cappella community. Each year's album is more exciting than the last -- and, in fact, most of the early BOCAs are long sold out and are now reprinted in double-CD sets. Whether it's the earliest edition available, the latest release, or the BOCA box, the Best of College A Cappella is a must-have for any true a cappella aficionado!



We are thrilled to announce the lineup for the BOCA 2009!

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who submitted their tracks. We know how much of each of you goes into producing these albums, and we really enjoyed listening to each and every track we received.

Hundreds upon hundreds of tracks submitted, but we are only able to fit 19 tracks, and with so many groups pushing the envelope (in everything from vocalists and arrangement, to recording and production quality, to song selection and genre), selecting our lineup this year was incredibly difficult.

We want to thank you for your interest in our annual compilation, and we encourage you to participate in years to come.

Congratulations to the 19 groups who were selected!
