The Rundown: Formed by Dr. Ward Woodbury, Jr., who was appointed Director of Music on the River Campus in 1954, The YellowJackets made their first appearance at a graduation ceremony in 1956. Oddly enough, the iconic yellow jackets didn’t become part of their repertoire until 1958. Originally, The YellowJackets performed accompanied with music, but by the late 80s they ditched the instruments and went all-in with Acappella.

The YellowJackets have some amazing voices in their group, and with a such a storied history, they are easily one of the most recognizable and well-known Acappella groups around. They have a great taste in music and brilliant creative minds to be able to stay competitive among their peers. MarsBands.com is a huge fan of The YellowJackets.
Hi, Mike! It’s your cousin Taylor! I can’t wait to come see you guys. When I come up there, I hope you’re home! I just hope I’m not at my Art Camp when we’re supposed to come up there.
If possible, tell Josh and all of them I said hi!
