Each concert highlights a range of vocal styles and choreography.

The set is rounded out with several pop songs including Fountains of Wayne's "Stacy's Mom" and Duelly Noted's very own "Telephone Medley," an arrangement of phone-related songs.
The tour is funded by the Hamilton Student Activities office.
Duelly Noted was founded at Hamilton in the spring of 2008 by eight first-year students. The group has since grown to 16 members representing all classes. In its first six years, Duelly Noted has performed in several unique venues including the streets of Venice, Italy. In November 2013, the group competed against eight other area a cappella groups and took home first place at Turning Stone's Collegiate A Cappella Showdown.

Duelly Noted is proud to announce the release of our second album, "FIVE"! Celebrating five years of friendship, family, and perfect fifths, we could not be more excited to share this album with our fans!
The album is available on iTunes, Amazon, and CDBaby, and you can even listen to us on Spotify. Hard copies are available at Hamilton College and will be for sale at the Family Weekend A Cappella concerts in the Chapel: Friday, November 1st and Saturday November 2nd at 9:30 PM.
"FIVE" features some of our favorite tracks from past semesters, such as Lady Gaga's pop-anthem "Born This Way," and our ever popular take on FUN's "Some Nights." The album also showcases some fantastic senior solos, complete with Disney classics, an 80's throwback, and even a little Beyoncé. Be sure to check out the last track, "Duelly Pop" a sweet mashup of top-40 radio hits. We promise if you have half as much fun listening to "FIVE" as we had making it, you're in for an "aca-awesome" time!

This past weekend, members of Duelly Noted returned to the Hill to perform during Hamilton's Reunion Weekend. We sang selections from our diverse repertoire at various dinners for enthusiastic alumni in reunion classes ranging from 1952 to 1992!
Throughout the weekend, we had the chance to meet scores of friendly and interesting Hamiltonians. We were treated to enthralling stories of Hamilton history—singing in the shower to Simon & Garfunkel, for example—and even got to chat with the founder of The Buffers, Hamilton's oldest a cappella group (founded in 1952).
We were especially proud to have the opportunity to serenade our college president, Joan Hinde Stewart, with a surprise performance of the timeless Sinatra classic "The Way You Look Tonight."
Cheers to another successful Duelly weekend on the Hill!

The set was rounded out with several pop songs including "Lay All Your Love on Me," "Thriller," and "Zombie Jamboree."
