About us
Established in 2011, McMaster University’s top show choir, Absolute Pitch, blends a variety of musical styles ranging from pop, to musical theatre, to R&B. Through fun and productive rehearsals, members work together weekly to learn choreography, music, and song to bring a wonderful show to life. With many performances throughout the year, you will definitely make lasting memories with us! All of the group ’ s hard work culminates in a year end showcase for all of our friends, family and the general public.
Through many musical stylings, our greatest inspirations dawn from stories similar to ours. To all the aspiring artists and shower singers out there, a little perseverance and creativity goes a long way. We aspire to one day bring the glamour and showbiz that is shown on Glee and Pitch Perfect to our reality!
Each year, we bring forth a Final Showcase to show what our incredible cast and production team has worked on throughout the duration of the year. Each year, we tackle a new theme. From the ’80s, Broadway, Disney, and Legendary Pop Icons, there’s nothing Absolute Pitch cannot do!
