Welcome to the class of 2028!

Want to learn more about Mixed Co and a cappella rush at Yale? Look no further than our rush page, which includes all the information you’ll need to get a feel for how rush works. We'll keep updating this page throughout rush, so be sure to check in periodically.

We hope to see you at Woolsey Jam and/or Marsh Jam, and we can’t wait to hear you audition! If you have any questions feel free to shoot an email to our head rush manager, Ayannah (ayannah.obas@yale.edu). See you soon!

Rush can be broken down into six easy steps:

1 - Woolsey/MARSH Jams (Aug 31, Sep 2)

Rush begins at Woolsey Jam, where each group will perform a song that demonstrates their musical ability and style. The groups sing again for you at Marsh Jam later that week. Immediately afterwards, you can sign up to audition for the groups of your choice.

NOTE: If you miss Marsh sign-ups but still want to rush, you can email mixedcompanyrush@gmail.com or any of our rush team (find our contact info below!) to set up an audition slot.

2 - Auditions (sep 5 - sep 8)

So you decided to rush us and signed up for an audition! Awesome! Auditions begin just a couple days after Marsh Jam, but don't worry — they're a fun, low-key affair that’ll help us get to know you as a singer. For more on auditions, look through our auditions guide here.

3 - Rush Meals

At some point between auditions and callbacks, you may be invited to meet with us to grab a Rush Meal and chat. Rush Meals are a chance for us to get to know you as a person (and vice versa). Feel free to be yourself and ask us anything you want to know.

4 - Singing Dessert (Sep 13, 7:15 PM)

Mixed Company's Singing Dessert is a great opportunity for you to hear more of our repertoire! We’ll perform a full-length set with some of our favorite arrangements. Afterwards, hang out with us over bagels, sweets, and other assorted goods!

5 - Callbacks (sep 14 - 15)

Callbacks take place the weekend after auditions. This is your chance to show us your versatility: Don't be afraid to choose a solo completely different from your audition solo! More information will come with your callback invitation.

6 - Tap Night (SEP 18)

Last but not least is Tap Night, a spectacle steeped in tradition. You’ll have to wait and see for the specifics!

Your Rush managers

Ayannah, Tori, and Daniela are your guides on this journey; they'll meet you at auditions, guide you through the rush process, and help you out with anything you need.
