The Princeton Footnotes are a low-voice a cappella group from Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey.[1] The Footnotes are a student-run, semi-professional performance group that generally consists of ten to twenty members. The Footnotes hold auditions for first-years and sophomores twice during the school year.[2] They are a part of Princeton University's "Acaprez" a cappella organization, which includes the Nassoons, Tigertones, Katzenjammers, Roaring Twenty, Tigerlilies, Tigressions, and Wildcats.
The Footnotes came in third in the National Collegiate A Cappella Championship Semi-Final in 2000. The group also was recognized by the Contemporary A Cappella Society through their selection of the Footnotes' rendition of "Boogie Down" for their "Best of College A Cappella Volume 1" album.[3] They have performed for President George H. W. Bush at the White House, Lee Iacocca at Chrysler, and the New Jersey Lottery.
They appeared on Season Four of The Sing-Off.[4]
In 2014, the Footnotes were selected for BOCA's "Best of BOCA: The First 20 Years" album for their arrangement of "Boogie Down" by Al Jarreau.
