| TEN AND CHANGE |
| started in February of 2000 when four friends
decided to rekindle their love for a cappella singing. After a
few name changes, sputters, starts and restarts, “Ten and Change”
was born. Ten and Change began practice in its members’ respective
NYC apartments (to the initial dismay and subsequent unbridled
joy of countless roommates and significant others), out on the
street (where the group was encouragingly pelted by spectating
fruit vendors), and Central Park (though those summertime outdoor
rehearsals were eventually discontinued due to an arresting number
of nubile distractions). Eventually, the group settled for a once-a-week
rehearsal schedule and a fixed rotation of rehearsal space, including
some midtown office conference rooms and some pretty nice roof
decks. |
| Ten and Change began performing in 2001 and has
since performed at several venues, from humble beginnings on the
top floor of a member’s apartment (with the not-so-humble NYC
skyline in the background) to such well-known venues
as CBGB, the Knitting Factory, Upright Citizen Brigade Theater,
St. Marx Cafe and Nessa. The group has performed the National
Anthem at Shea Stadium and Harbor Yard (home of the
Bridgeport Bluefish) and frequently entertains in large venues
such as Central Park (for NYC Parks
& Recreation). See our calendar
for a complete listing. Ten and Change also regularly does volunteer
concert work at various locales in New York City. Since the beginning,
Ten and Change has entertained its audiences with tight harmonies,
side-splitting humor and its hallmark trait -- complete unorganized
chaos. |
| Our alumni now rank over 30 strong, with some alum (and current members) singing since the group's founding and others joining only for a year or two. Check
