ABOUT US


  The Dartmouth Decibelles, Fall 2008 The Decibelles are an all-female a cappella group, usually consisting of 12-16 members. Founded in 1976, our group sings songs in a variety of styles, including modern pop and rock tunes, Dartmouth traditionals, oldies, barbershop, and pretty much anything and everything in between!

In addition to performing frequently around the Dartmouth campus, the Decis sing at other colleges, at community events in and around the Upper Valley, and at Dartmouth Alumni Clubs. Every year during Winter break, the Decis go on a weeklong tour of the Northeast, although last year flew out to San Diego and LA, and this year we are crossing the pond to go to London!

The Decibelles have also been actively recording since the 1980's, coming out with an album every two or three years. You can hear clips from our latest release, Distraction, on our albums page.

Auditions for the Decibelles are held each year at the beginning of Fall Term, just before the start of classes.

We are currently trying to find all of our alumnae. If you were in the Decibelles before 1996, or if you have any questions, please e-mail us at decibelles@dartmouth.edu

  Some helpful businesses that might interest Dartmouth students!


  • Pre-Law Dartmouth Decibelles that travel to Michigan can meet with a Michigan Personal Injury Lawyer to find out about applying to law school and get a sense of their experiences.
  • Dartmouth Decibelles utilize moving companies to haul their dorm room furniture during semester breaks from Dartmouth College to their homes throughout the country. To help pay for the moving costs, Dartmouth Decibelles often use student credit cards, so they can pay in monthly installations and garner reward points that can be used for Dartmouth college gear, spring break trips and university memorabilia.
  • Dartmouth College Decibelles might utilize Promotional Tote Bags to transport their a capella outfits between performances in and around Hanover.
