The Ransom Notes, the premiere Co-Ed A Capella group at the University of Texas at Austin, recently celebrated their 10-year anniversary. Emulating a musical style very popular in Northeastern universities, the group was created in 1996 by two students in the Plan 2 honors program, Rob Addy and Kevin Watts. Holding auditions each time a member graduates to maintain a 12-person (6 guys, 6 girls) ensemble, the group has developed into a powerful musical force on the UT campus and in Austin.
