About US The Dynamics is the premier co-ed a cappella group from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. The group's 17 members are constantly pushing themselves to exceed the standards set elsewhere. With innovative arrangements, powerful soloists, the experience of a Dynamics performance will leave you wanting more. Who Are We Sometimes, the best way to get a feel for a group’s dynamic is to catch a glimpse of who the members become when they’re alone together. With a performing group, it can be hard to tell whether the smiles stay or change once the audience has gone—whether the fun itself is part of the performance. New members, though, figure out every year that there’s something different about the Dynamics. Somewhere between the retreats, the practices, the parties, and the performances we do together, there comes a moment for every Dynamic where the stage changes from the goal of our work, to another place where we have fun together. The smiles we show on stage aren’t produced or forced; they’re spilling over from backstage and from laughs that began in the first moments of our years together. We look like a co–ed a cappella group. We feel like friends who happen to sing together. When you love what you do, something amazing happens. Without that love, no one can make the jump from good to great. Our credo marks both our music and our members alike: do it because you love it. What We Do Living out this motto has made the Dynamics an integral group on the University of Massachusetts - Amherst A cappella scene. Each year, we bring a fresh repertoire to the stage as we perform at events from A cappella showcases to university–sponsored events, from international competitions to charity fundraisers. Our love for great music has not only brought us together as a group, but it has also won us acclaim, both at the university and within the competitive sphere. We have qualified twice for the quarterfinals of the International Championship for Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA), and have released two full–length critically acclaimed studio albums "Crescendo" and "Love Games" . Every winter break, we record a CD in Florida and release it in the Spring. Despite all of this, the Dynamics consider our sense of commitment to each other and love for what we do to be our crowning achievement. We believe that a cappella music should be fun, and we hold that the best way to create enjoyable music is first to enjoy it ourselves, and then to invite those who watch and listen to join in the fun.
