The Sirens competed among other A Capella Ensembles from universities, private colleges, and community colleges from around the area.
The group of 12 women sang their own A Capella versions of popular songs “Clarity” by Zedd , “She Wolf” by David Guetta , and “Telephone” by Lady Gaga; for the chance to move on to the Semifinals.

Before they competed, artistic director and vocal coach for the sirens, James Reddan said,“They are competing with the four year universities. [They are] one of three community college groups nationwide that are accepted into this. Its not something to be taken lightly. But at the same time they’re having fun with it, which that is the important part.” “This year is going really good, this group [both groups] are really working hard and I’m seeing lots of good things from them. They really want to do their best, as always,” said Reddan This powerhouse group, which calls themselves a “Sisterhood”, is very diverse in music, style, and even age.“I am 20 years older than everybody, and nobody seems to care," “Its cool I can keep up with all these girls,” said two year member Kim Williaman.
Two year member Claire Logue said about her experience in Sirens, “[The Sirens] has introduced me to the leader that I have inside myself. You get up and sing your heart out, and everybody else is behind you, supporting you.” Sirens placed fourth in the ICCA’s. Only the top two groups move on to the Semifinals, they are University of Oregon’s “Mind The Gap” and Western Oregon University’s “15 Miles West”. Third, and receiving honorable mention, went to Willamette University’s “Headband”. Sirens is holding auditions this spring and is looking for beat-boxers, dancers, and overall quality singers.
