Pitch Slapped is a coed a cappella group that formed in 2006. The group comes from The Berkeley collage of music in Boston Massachusetts. Every year they hold auditions for the group in spring and the music styles range from pop, to rock, to R&B and much more. Pitch Slapped has won many competitions within the last few years. In 2010 the group earned the totally of the ICCA “1st runner up” and also are the proud holders of the 2011 ICCA Final champions.
