TCU a cappella groups The Horned Tones and License to Trill won the top two spots Saturday night in the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella Southwest Quarterfinal competition, earning a place the semifinal competition. It was the first time any TCU group advanced to semifinals. “It is so surreal what just happened,” License to Trill member Kameron Reyes said. “It’s the first time any TCU group is moving on to semifinals, and now we have two.” The Horned Tones earned first place with a mashup of “The Sky’s the Limit” by Jason Derulo and “Forever” by Chris Brown, “Hold On” by Michael Bublé and “Brother” by NEEDTOBREATHE. “We’ve had rehearsals until 11 p.m., 11:30 p.m., midnight, multiple times a week for the last three, four months,” Horned Tones member Joseph Hartley said. “I’m so happy.” License to Trill performed “Nothing Left to Say” by Imagine Dragons, “Don’t Let Me Down” by The Chainsmokers and “Ride or Die” by Brayton Bowman.
