Aarya Nagrani, Dyson's roommate who attended the concert on Saturday, said the effort the group has put in has been evident, especially in the week leading up to the show.
"I think it's so cool how they all really come together and put their absolute all into it to be able to present such an amazing show tonight," she said.
During their concert, Cadence performed 12 a cappella covers spanning from '90s pop hits like Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" to recent R&B songs like "Circus" by Summer Walker. The group also performed an a cappella medley featuring popular girl group songs such as "Worth It" by Fifth Harmony and "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls.
Dyson said each singer had the chance to suggest three songs that they thought would be fun to sing, and they decided on what songs to perform from there.
"Sometimes it depends on genres, but we really just choose music that we all love and enjoy," she said.
Babb said the past week required a lot of personal effort from Cadence members, and she often returned home around 11:30 p.m. each day after rehearsals.
"It was really cathartic to have worked this hard all semester and getting to perform in front of the people who I love like my family, my really close friends, other a cappella groups, other musicians, other parents -- people who just want us to succeed," she said.
Babb said the members had faith in each other during the rehearsal process, and she's found an amazing community between the new members, older returning members and music directors of Cadence.
This sense of sisterhood is something Dyson hopes the audience can feel as they perform the songs.
"We are Cadence because we have so much support behind us, and especially supporting women and supporting each other," she said.
