Re word the intro a bit and add some more recent wording and groups.

History: "It is not known exactly when or where collegiate a cappella began. The RPI Glee Club of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, established in 1873, was one of the earliest known collegiate a cappella groups.[2]" -It was started in the early 1800s -Explain where it started

"Similarly, the Varsity Vocals compose an international a cappella organization based around their two main competitions, the ICCAs (International Competition of Collegiate A Cappella) and the ICHSA (International Competition of High School A Cappella). According to their website, “owned and operated by Varsity Vocals, the competitions receive applications each fall. For groups accepted to the tournament, ICCA shows are held in three rounds – Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Finals. Roughly, Quarterfinals are held in January and February, Semifinals in March, and Finals in April in New York City. ICHSA shows are held in Semifinal and Final rounds throughout the spring, culminating with Finals in April in New York City.” [6]" -Was started in 1996 -"This growth was fueled in part by stylistic changes that had widespread appeal" - Talk about different styles and techniques. -Go into history of beatboxing -Tone, sound, style, Modern Growth: The new style used voices to emulate modern rock instruments, marking a shift away from the more traditional sounds of jazz or classical ensembles and glee clubs to contemporary a cappella, with groups focusing on modern pop music, complete with complex textures and a driving beat (see vocal percussion). Today, even some glee clubs have a largely pop-music repertoire supplemented only in small part by the traditional genres." -Change wording at the beginning -Give examples of different sounds and styles that are "in"

UNDER PERFORMANCE STYLES: -Discuss like stated above, the different ways that A Cappella exists today

Correct said grammar under the "Group structure and culture" section Explain the dynamics as explained in one of the bibliography articles about how groups work around competing and being with eachther alot. -How those relationships evolve

Change section names and Capitalize them Add those extra techniques to "contents" tab/file
