Founded in 1989, the Octopodes is Johns Hopkins University’s premier all-gender a cappella group. For over 30 years, the Octopodes have found success both on-stage and in the studio, with multiple appearances in the Semi-Finals of ICCA, critically acclaimed studio albums out on major streaming services, as well as numerous virtual performances released on social media platforms. Along with competing and recording, the Octopodes take time to perform concerts on the JHU campus, collaborate with nearby groups, attend a cappella festivals, and excite outside audiences at off-campus gigs and performances.
