The After School Specials! are from Claremont Colleges, a consortium of liberal arts colleges in the souther California area. Characterized by their upbeat attitudes, green attire, and signature A.S.S. (After School Specials) hats, they sing their own arrangements that cover an expansive range of music. Their members are as diverse as the music they sing, and hail from all corners of the country and world. They also major in all academic disciplines, across the gamut of humanities and sciences. The group believes in creating a space for passionate individuals that share a love for making music, regardless of their backgrounds, in order to create a community to share great music. The After School Specials have also had the privilege of performing and recording at various exciting locations. Past venues include The Fonda Theater, Diane Warren's recording studio, and the White House. They love getting to showcase their assets in front of as many people as possible , and they hope to make music wherever people will listen. This is the group's third appearance in the ICCA tournament. Each time has been a great competitive experience, as well as a time to celebrate their members and other groups.
