This a capella group started back in 2007, when all its members were Freshmen at "Tudor Ciortea" high school. Every Christmas time we sing original Christmas arrangements at various events in our hometown, Brasov, Romania; the most challenging and exciting parts of my job are finding gigs that match our unique musical style, and making sure our profit increases every year.Managing this group has taught me a lot about the importance of team work and about the importance of managing our time in a way that it's going to benefit every member of the group. Arranging has also been a fun experience, because I knew everyone's voice and we were able to create an original sound by putting our voices together.
