"I Try" - Macy Gray (Soloist: SnowCream)
We did it. We changed the world.
Thanks so much to everyone who came out to fight for the rights of furry people everywhere. We would like to give a HUGE and SPECIAL thank you to the wonderful, talented, and fun girls of TANGLED UP IN BLUE. They sounded awesome and were a blast to hang out with. We can't wait for our next show together.
Thanks again to everywhone who came! It was a great way to end an awesome quarter. Good luck with finals and happy holidays!

Once again, the boys in green joined forces with the beautiful ladies of Significant Others to put on a rockin' show!
Thank you so much to everyone who came out to see us. Nothing could have been better than singing for two packed and energetic houses and getting to make the most epic wishes of our lifetimes with the late crowd!
In case you missed it (shame on you), or in case you just want to relive the magic, here are some awesome videos! Enjoy!

This September we welcomed three awesome new members into Freshman Fifteen! Meet them, take them out to dinner, or just stalk them on Facebook. Whatever you do, you'll be impressed.
And thanks so much to everyone who auditioned! We were amazed by the amount of talent in the bros of the Class of 2015. You guys rock.
OHIO!
F15 just completed another successful trip to Ohio, wreaking havoc on both Sandusky and Fostoria. We experienced the wonders of the Kalahari Desert, braving the waters of the Tanzanian Twister. We rode some of the fastest and tallest roller coasters America has to offer. Living in the lap of luxury, we stayed in 5-star accomodations along the coasts of Lake Erie. All in all, it was AWESOME.
Thanks to the wonderful people of Ohio, Berardi's Family Kitchen, New Riegel Cafe, the smiling lifegaurds and waitstaff of Kalahari (Hey Tim!), Genny (miss you already!), Stacy's Place, and the third largest Wal-Mart east of the Mississippi. But most of all, we want to say a huge special thank you to Tim and Vicki for making this trip nothing short of spectacular. Bubbles, Karate Kid, Kazaam, Nosebleed, Pledge, Baby Angel, E.T., and Limp Top will never be the same.
Can't wait to take another trip to our favorite state with some new hotness!
F15's spring show was a hit!
Thanks to everyone who came out to see F15's annual video show, "Straight to DVD"! It was an amazing weekend full of great singin', lots of laughs, one of F15's famous extravaganzas, and, unfortunately, saying goodbye to five incredible bros. SnowCream, T-Bagg, Tornado, Vahj?, and Bubbles: thank you for everything. You will be dearly missed.
In case you missed the magic, check out some of our videos!

F15's Newest CD was released May 14th, 2010
Welcome to the Paradise Lounge

"Today, Northwestern University Freshman Fifteen is releasing its fifth studio album, Welcome to the Paradise Lounge. The A Cappella Blog was fortunate enough to get a sneak peek at a handful of tracks, and it's looking like a promising disc for collegiate a cappella aficionados looking for a new CD to carry them into the summer.
One of the things I like best about this CD was that the guys weren't afraid to take chances with song selection. They showed their sensitive side with a really beautiful rendering of "Awake," highlighted by a perfectly understated solo. They embraced the emotion of Macy Gray's "I Try." And then there was a really bold imagining of [Marc Broussard's] "Home." It's a popular song choice for all-male groups the last couple of years, and so, on first glance, not an inspired choice. When you hear it, though, you can't help noticing just how fierce the arrangement and the soloist are, as the guys demonstrate no trepidation about making the song their own in this recording.
Another key to the disc's success is a generally smooth sound that at the same time never comes as across as over-produced. The guys sound polished, but you scan still hear just enough of the texture of individual voices to know for sure that you're listening to a collection of human voices rather than the synth-sound many groups are embracing in contemporary recordings."
