Hi! Welcome to our page! As a little introduction, we’d like to let you know that this page is 100% dedicated to the Skyliners acapella group at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Here we will discuss the history of acapella, the progression of the Skyliners’ rehearsals, acapella’s current role in pop culture, updates on events, and more! There will be six of us posting on this blog and we just want to introduce ourselves and give you a chance to learn a little something about us.

Hi all, I'm Krista and I am the Founder and President of the FIT Skyliners. I have a passion for music, especially acapella music and I will be giving you an exclusive look at how an acapella piece is created. You'll get to see how I break down a song and re-create it to be sung by only voices. Keep checking in to see new updates!
Hey! I’m Kai and I’m going to be covering the progression of rehearsals. What you’ll get from me is a weekly update about what’s happening in rehearsals along with fun tidbits about what makes this group of people standout from other acapella groups. I have a background of seven years in show choir and acapella, four of which were spent with one of the top high school groups in the country and I’m looking forward to bringing a piece of behind the scenes information to all of you who are interested!
Hello! I’m Molly. I’ve always been amazed by the talent an acapella group has in order to make their specialty a success! Therefore, any chance I get I like to be able to witness the skills of the group. I will be keeping everyone in the loop concerning the FIT Skyliners’ whereabouts, next performances, and any chances you will have to experience them firsthand both here on the campus and around the city. Be sure not to miss a thing!
Hey friends! My name is Osvaldo, I have the pleasure of comparing the Fashion Institute of Technology's first acapella group, called the Skyliners to the must see movie Pitch Perfect, and hit television series Glee, everyone's guilty pleasure. Together we will look at what sets FIT's acapella group apart from others, and look for similarities and differences among the Skyliners, Pitch Perfect, and Glee. Stay tuned there is lots more to come!
Hello! I’m Jessica. With my passion in music and appreciation for the arts, I’d like to introduce you to the world of acapella, music composed with voices only. Growing up, I’ve learned to play classical piano to contemporary guitar. Music has truly shaped me. I’ve always had an interest in acapella music. So join me in my journey in discovering the history of acapella music and how the FIT Skyliners have made it their own as this genre continues to be trending.
Hey! I'm Francesca and I will be giving you a sneak-peak into the life of Krista Pershinsky, the founder and president of the FIT Skyliners. We will take a look at who her biggest influences are and what pushed her to start an acapella club. We will also find out what it takes to start a club at FIT and all the persistence that is needed to make it successful. You will go from sitting in the audience to being back stage in Krista's life.
We can't wait to share all of our ideas and plans we have in store with you. Check back soon
