I recently listened to "Carol Of The Bells" by Pentatonix. I first learned of this group last year around Christmas time, this group appealed to me because I really enjoy a cappella music, reason being, you can hear the different tunes and melodies from the various participants working together in harmony. I am impressed with vocal talent and this group seems to have five extremely talented members that work really well together. I enjoy listening to the individuals singing their parts of the song and witnessing the broad range of high to low notes that they are able to hit.

 I wondered how long each of these artists have been singing, and how long have they been singing together? If they have not always been singing together, how did they first form as a group?  Have they always had a dream to become famous, or did was this an interest sparked by an opportunity they happened to come across? How did they start off, what inspired them to become group of musicians?

According to online research on Wikipedia, the group Pentatonix originates from Arlington, Texas and have been "active" from 2011 to present. According to Wikipedia, this a cappella group started as three high school choir members who participated in an on air radio competition which they did not win, however they were noticed within their high school where the three of them continued to perform. I found that the members were brought together in the college years where they began to perform together and grew into the famous group that we know of today. Ticketmaster fan reviews reveal 5/5 stars, clearly this is a very popular and dynamic group of musicians.
