The group initially served as a temporary way to teach first years the basics of a cappella so they could audition for existing groups around Grounds. However, the strong bonds between members mixed with the unique all-gender atmosphere kept NewDos together, over the years transforming NewDos into what it is today. We have been recording albums, touring the nation, and maintaining those strong bonds. Today, the Newdos have become the University’s oldest all-gender a cappella group. Auditions are held every Fall and some Spring semesters and are open to all interested UVa students. Follow us on our Facebook and Instagram pages to keep up with us.
