Whenever we can, we take our show on the road.  Something Extra has traveled the globe, from the Midwest to Mexico, from Germany to Jamaica, from Paris to Puerto Rico, and from the White House to Wakiki.  We have performed for Presidents of Yale and of the United States, for kindergartners and senior citizens, for foreign diplomats and passersby in the street.

Last year took us to sunny Tampa, Florida for a beachy winter tour, and on a whirlwind spring tour of NYC and Washington, DC.  The year before, we traveled to Mexico on our fifth consecutive international tour, following a winter break in Nashville and Atlanta.

Here at Yale, we perform throughout the academic year, including our annual Birthday Jam in February and our Parents Weekend concert in October, both of which draw crowds of friends, relatives, and music-lovers.  In and around New Haven, we perform for some of our favorite audiences in schools, retirement communities, and country clubs.  We also have a fantastic time doing informal concerts with singing groups from other universities, like Stanford’s Fleet Street Singers.

A big part of what makes Something Extra so special is the remarkable diversity of interests and backgrounds within the group.  We major in everything from geology to religious studies, and do everything from varsity sports to theatre to Yale Political Union, but no matter where our divergent paths take us, we share the common bond of the music we make together.
