About

Hello there! We are the MIT Asymptones, MIT's low-time-commitment a cappella group with a focus on fun and nerdy music! We are dedicated to being a lower-time commitment option (with three and a half hours of rehearsal a week instead of six) in order to help members balance a cappella singing with classes and other activities.

We perform at four major concerts each year — the Family Weekend A Cappella Concert in the fall, the Campus Preview Weekend A Cappella Concert in the spring, and our own concerts at the end of the fall and spring semesters — in addition to other small gigs.

As an a cappella group, we focus on arranging and performing fun and nerdy music from a variety of genres including video games, movies, youtube hits, parodies, and more. Some of our recent songs include “Jump Up, Super Star!” from Super Mario Odyssey, “Reflection” from Mulan, “You’ll Be Back” from Hamilton, “Fireflies” by Owl City, and “Molecular Shape of You”, a nerdy parody of Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You”.

If you have song recommendations or want us to perform at your event, see our Gigs & Requests section for more information. If you are interested in joining, see our auditions section for details on our process!
