Because We Love It.
The Amateurs are one of Washington University’s many a cappella groups. But what sets us apart from the rest of the flock? Our style, our philosophy, and our attitude. Learn more »
Of course, being an a cappella group, we sing (a whole lot). In addition to our live performances, we record and produce our own CD’s. You can find complete track information about all of our CD’s and even hear samples of our sound online! Check it out »

Performance for The Society of Federal Health Agencies
The Amateurs were recently invited to perform at the ASMUS Federal Medical Conference on November 18th, 2009. This conference will bring together more than 3000 health care providers from the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, US Public Health, Indian Health Service, Department of Veterans Affairs, and a large contingent of military medical leaders from Allied Nations around the World. We can't wait to sing for our United States Service members!
Congratulations New Amateurs!
