Out of the Blue is Yale University's award-winning contemporary a cappella group, known for its tight vocals and electric performance style. Founded in 1986, Out of the Blue (OOTB, pronounced OOT-bah) has evolved into Yale's most dynamic vocal group, entertaining audiences near and far with an eclectic repertoire of contemporary genres. OOTB has performed in a range of diverse venues from the United States Embassy in Singapore to Madison Square Garden in New York City. The group has opened for major recording artists and performed for Nobel Laureates and Supreme Court Justices. In addition to performances, OOTB leads master classes for students all over the world, many of which have inspired kids to start their own school a cappella groups. Each year, OOTB embarks on tours to share our music with audiences across the world. Past tour destinations have included London, Rio de Janeiro, Montreal, Singapore, Geneva, Ukraine, Hong Kong, Colombia, and cities all over the United States.
