About
Firedrill!
About Firedrill!
Firedrill!
was founded by 7 former Hyannis Sound
members during the cold blustery winter of 2004-2005 in Boston, MA. Since that time the group has undergone several transformations, put out a buzzworthy EP, released a CARA-award winning
album, taught workshops and led masterclasses at numerous a cappella festivals (like SoJam
and N.E. Voices), and performed for many great audiences around the country.
Firedrill!'s focus is on the music. We strive to entertain with the strength of our voices and arrangements, which is a good thing because none of us can dance, and if Nate tries to make "jazz hands," he spontaneously dislocates both of his thumbs.
