Professional a cappella group to perform at Glenbard South, work with students

The Cat's Pajamas Vocal Band, a high energy professional a cappella group based in Branson, MO, will perform at Glenbard South High School at 7 p.m. March 1 as part of their 10th annual Music in Schools Tour. This tour brings student choral clinics, school assemblies and evening shows to communities across the nation in an effort to raise money for school music programs.

The group will coach Glenbard South students during the afternoon on March 1, and one of Glenbard South's a cappella groups will perform as a warmup band for the Cat's Pajamas Vocal Band at the evening concert.

The band's goal is to inspire students, generate increased excitement and passion for music, and encourage all youth and teens to get involved in the arts. The group teaches and mentors students during the school day, focusing on singing techniques, as well as sharing their personal journeys and testimonies about how they have turned their love for music into a professional career.

In the evening, The Cat's Pajamas Vocal Band will perform for the community, and they will donate a portion of the show's profits directly to Glenbard South's choral program.

The Cat's Pajamas, which recently received national acclaim on NBC's hit show The Sing-Off: Season Three, perform pop classics from the '50s, '60s, and '70s, including songs from The Temptations, Queen, Grand Funk Railroad and Jackson Five. Contemporary artists like Maroon 5, Pitbull, Ed Sheeran, and Bruno Mars are also featured in the show, all performed in The Cat's innovative and funk-infused a cappella style. This interactive group appeals to all ages and keeps the crowd laughing, dancing and singing along for the entire show.

Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door or may be reserved by calling 630-942-6612.
