Soundbytes Budget

FY2015 (July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015)

Soundbytes is the first secular co-ed a cappella group on campus. The group is completely student-run, as we write and arrange all of our songs. We periodically hold performances on campus, and on surrounding campuses in the area. We record our own music and hope to produce albums on a biannual basis.
