Something Extra

Something Extra is the name of:

• Something Extra, an all-female a cappella music group at Yale University in New Haven CT, United States. The group can be recognized by their classy, black evening gowns and signature red gloves.

The Origin of Something Extra In the middle of one cold, New Haven winter in 1977, a Yale undergrad by the name of Lori-Anne Wynter called the first rehearsal of what would soon become the newest all-female a cappella group on campus. Three months of rehearsing later, still nameless but ready to turn some heads, the founding members of our group, stunning in their matching tuxedos, made their way onto the stage of the now-obsolete Zeta Psi Jamboree. The unprepared MC arrived at the last group of the night, and, not knowing what to call the shockingly dressed ensemble, he simply glanced out into the crowd and improvised: "And to conclude the night, here's a little something extra!" Women's a cappella at Yale has never looked back.
