Geoff has apparently hit an A0, but it is for a much shorter length of time than in this song.

We obviously know that Tim Foust has blown speakers and we even know that Avi Kaplan has also blown speakers (he did that at least once while he was still with Pentatonix).

@@hwyla4416 A0 and B0 are the first two white keys o a piano keyboard, respectively - so yes, getting pretty damn low! They're also approaching the lower limit of what's considered "normal" human hearing - A0 is just over 27 Hertz (Hz, cycles per second), B0 is just over 30 Hz, and the "normal" lower limit of hearing for a young person in good health is about 20 Hz. As people age that number goes up, and if there is any damage to the ear (physical or medical problems) it will usually also go up - Geoff's B0 is getting really close to the bottom of my range! Tim Storms, who holds the world record for lowest note produced by a human, has produced notes that are completely off a piano keyboard and WAY below human hearing - we're talking below 1 Hz here. You need special mics to pick up his sounds - or an elephant!

@@jamescurfman3284 If Geoff has not blown a speaker, it is not because he is not going low enough. It is not just the note that blows them. It is also the amount of power behind the note - how loud it is. So, it could be that he just isn't singing as loudly, especially since he doesn't do much live anymore. While he did sing live just back in November, it would not have been appropriate to blow out a speaker in a Chicago concert. Not sure how low he went there, but obviously did not go for the combo of low note plus volume.

Thanks not just for this reaction, but also for apparently convincing your hubby to also react to them. That first reaction of his was just so satisfying. He apparently was unconvinced before they started singing. Always fun to watch the jaw drop!

So glad you did this one! This was (at the time) one of their most involved productions - they filmed in a VR studio with huge LED screen walls, so Eli's 3D backgrounds really stood out, although the studio AC was down (Florida - 90 degrees!) - so they had to keep pausing for retouching of makeup etc.! J. None's plane from Washington was 3 hours late, which may explain his delay in joining the others! Many of their (and Geoff's) other videos are shot at Pattycake Productions studio - a company co-owned by Layne and Tony Wakim (ex-VP baritone, who wanted to explore the production side more), many of their 'shorts' are shot in the mall where the studio is located (Oviedo Mall). Pattycake also have their own videos on here, notably their 'Villains Lair' series, but my fave is 'Bump In The Night'..! As others have mentioned, they do virtually everything themselves, with the exception of additional camera operators, more advanced makeup/prosthetics (by the wizard, Rick Underwood, who worked with several of them at Universal Studios theme park) and the final audio mix by the genius that is Ed Boyer (who also works with HF and PTX among others). As far as picking a favorite - it usually tends to be - the next one! 😊

I gave them that #TheatreKidsOfACapella in 2020. It's taken on a life of it's own.

Nice reaction! 🙂 Yes, it's a cover, and Miracle of Sound commented under their video and gave them "10 raised alehorns out of 10" for the most creative cover of his song 😁. These guys have it all. And you didn't try their sense of humour yet... Wait until you'll watch "Drunken sailor", or "Golden hour" (in which they are at the same time sweet, funny and weird 😅), or "In the Hall of the Mountain King" which is the most hilarious delirium I've watched/listened to in years. Or many others, like ANY of their Halloween installments. 😁 Others have suggested songs for your next reaction to them... I'd add "I can't make you love me", where, just like in "Creep" (or maybe even more), you'll be able to experience the most emotional side of Cesar's voice (and acting). And "Running up that hill", originally by Kate Bush and which they present in a more "Stranger things"-like kind of version. 🙂 See you next time!

If you saw Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, they did a cover of Hellfire from that, which is pretty fantastic. As well, their covers of "If I Were a Rich Man/Girl" (mostly from Fiddler on the Roof), "Oogie Boogie's Song" (The Nightmare Before Christmas), and their Moana Medley (from Moana) are all good examples of what they can do with movie and stage musical covers - especially if you know any of the originals. They are great regardless, though. The Moana one is from 6 years ago, so they look a lot younger and have a few members there who have been gone from the group for awhile. Also, since you like Geoff Castellucci's voice (the bass in the group), you might want to check out one of the solos from his channel. Sixteen Tons is a great start there.
