Are you interested in joining Tonal Ecstasy A Cappella?

Well, you’re in the right place — we’re one of McGill’s four amazing A Cappella groups. In addition to being the oldest one, we just recorded an album which may be released later this year on a major record label.

We’re made up of fun-and-music-loving McGill students from every faculty, from English Literature to Computer Science! We arrange all our own music, with songs chosen by our members—that means you will help us define our sound, and our setlist.

\We’d love to hear from you, so if any of this sounds interesting, make sure to find us at McGill Activities Fair (September 11 and 12) to talk to us! In the meantime, like us on Facebook, follow us on Instagram, and check out our Youtube to see a bit more about us!

Can’t wait to meet you!!

It’s April 7th. This term has felt like three years long. The freedom of summer break awaits, but then—fleetingly, fugaciously, fadingly—that bracing taste of liberty disappears. You need something to get you through the next few weeks; a brief hit to give you the willpower you need to keep studying. But from where will it come?

Luckily for you, we’re having a concert, and if you need a reason to get off of McLennan 6, Cybertheque, or (heavens forbid) Schulich 5, come to our concert and celebrate some great music with some great people!

Check out our new arrangements of artists like The Weeknd, Alicia Keys, and Kelly Clarkson, as well as new TX classics like The Real, I Fall Apart, and Higher Ground!

For the FIRST TIME EVER, TX will be offering ticket sales online! Click on the link below to buy your ticket, and be sure to put in the name of the person who convinced you to come (we may or may not have a contest to see who can sell the most tickets…)

https://tx-presents-morning-star.cheddarup.com

When? Sunday, April 7th
Where? Cafe Campus
Doors are at 7pm and concert will start at 8pm

Tickets:
$10 Presale
$12 Door

Contact your favourite TX member, email info@tonalecstasy.com, or click on the link below to get your ticket!

A Cappella friends and family!! If you or a loved one suffers from an incurable urge to sing and make music, then you may be entitled to audition for Tonal Ecstasy this fall!

We’d love to have you as part of our family, so if you’re interested in joining TX, find us at activities night or click here to sign up on the spreadsheet for an audition slot!

We look forwards to seeing you then!

Omar’s three years in TX can only be described as incredible. His humour and his ability to make everyone smile made him the glue that held us all together. His leadership at every concert helped us all to remain calm and focused, even when it seemed like the world might be ending! As our only beatboxer for many years, Omar always gave 100% effort and the example he set inspired us all to work harder. We will miss him dearly but there is no doubt that he is going amazing places!

— Jaeden

Ed’s 4 years in TX have been marked by his incredible talent and dedication to the group — as a singer, as VP Tech, and as Musical Director. His easygoing attitude helped keep rehearsals productive as well as fun and relaxed. Although he could never manage to smile in a single group picture, we know he was smiling on the inside! We will miss Ed and his mischievous jokes but we can’t WAIT to see what he does next.

— Olivia

Aubreylyn’s three years in TX have been treasured by us all. Through her incredibly thoughtful and kind break-a-leg-cards, hard work as VP Internal, and commitment to her fellow TXers, Aubreylyn’s love for the group has been felt by us all. Although we will miss her beautiful voice and grounding presence in rehearsal, her positive spirit has inspired us and will continue through future generations of TX. 

Thank you, Aubreylyn, for all that you do; we are so excited to see where life takes you!

—Emma Rose

Emma Rose's three years in TX have been three years not just of her beautiful voice lifting our group, but also of her contagious spirit making our rehearsals fun (and productive!). In Aubreylyn's words, Emma's "bold spirit, brilliant mind, and beautiful heart" have touched us all, and although we are sad for her to leave us, we are even more excited to see her go on to many wonderful places. 

In the meantime, however, she's going to knock your socks off with this Senior Set!
