Tours and performances begin at 5:30 p.m. A cappella groups, which will perform throughout the evening at various locations in the Gallery and Center are: The Baker’s Dozen, The Duke’s Men, Red Hot & Blue, Rhythmic Blue, and The Yale Alley Cats.

The 'Bakers Dozen' is a fantastic group, with so much talent! They, and the other groups, will be a wonderful addition to this event!
