The Girls Next Door?

No, this is not a gossip column on neighbors. It’s actually about the a cappella group named The Girls Next Door. Just like the men’s a cappella group called The Other Guys, who are a segment of Varsity Men’s Glee Club, The Girls Next Door also started out as a segment of The Women’s Glee Club. Believe it or not, this group began in 1971. The nine girls, who make up this group, not only sing harmoniously, but also entertain audiences with various types of musical selections including jazz and country. Their next shows will be on April 13 at the Illini Red Cross Variety Show, April 20 at Relay for Life and April 21st at the Boneyard Arts Festival. Auditions are held about once a year and for more information check out their website at www.uiuc.edu/ro/gnd.
