ABOUT REVIEWS OF THE SIRENS
"It's just some of the best female beats you're likely to hear anywhere. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Treble pop/rock groups, this is what you're trying to do." --Hannah Stotland
"The Sirens continue to shatter the limitations of recorded women's a cappella. I'd gladly be hurled overboard to hear these ladies sing." --Joshua Diamant
(all above quotes taken from our Recorded A Cappella Review Board reviews)
The USC Sirens were formed in October of 1997 by Brock Harris. Connie Chung (President 1997-1998) is credited with naming the Sirens. In Greek and Roman mythology, mythical creatures called Sirens used their voices to lure sailors to their deaths. When you come to our shows, refrain from bringing wax for your ears or twine to tie yourself to the mast.
The Sirens have been hired to perform at many venues, including the Popovich Dedication Ceremony, President Sample's private Homecoming party, singing the national anthem at an L.A. Kings and the USC hockey games, CityWalk at Universal Studios, the Gene Autry Museum; not to mention our occasional romps at the Third Street Promenade!
Sirens have appeared on Best of Collegiate A Cappella (BOCA) for 7 years in a row.

Favorite Sirens Song: Always Be My Baby (because I like to watch Amanda do funny things with her hands) and Turning Tables
They told me to send in something funny for this, but then they wouldn't post what I sent them. So now all you get to know is that I like singing and dancing and laughing and Tim Riggins from Friday Night Lights.
