Do It Because You Love It
Because We Love It.
The Amateurs are one of Washington University’s many a cappella groups. But what sets us apart from the rest of the flock? Our style, our philosophy, and our attitude. Learn more »
Of course, being an a cappella group, we sing (a whole lot). In addition to our live performances, we record and produce our own CD’s. You can find complete track information about all of our CD’s and even hear and purchase samples of our sound online! Check it out »

Spring Break Tour 2010
The Amateurs just returned from a wonderful Spring Break Tour in New York. We saw all of the sights and particularly enjoyed singing at various schools in the area. One of our favorite memories from the trip was singing at the Harlem Academy for elementary school students. Harlem Academy is an independent school for children whose aptitude for success in higher education might otherwise go unrealized.
