The Tigerlily
tradition began at Princeton University on
a fall afternoon in 1971. Maria Danly '74 and seven other
women gathered beneath the gothic architecture of 1879 archway, filling it with a four-part arrangement of
the jazz classic How High the Moon. This was the inception of the
female a cappella sound at Princeton.
The group has changed over the past three decades, but the tight-knit combination
of music and sisterhood has stayed the same. Since 1971, the Tigerlilies
have traveled far and wide, touring exotic locales such as Switzerland,
Australia, Japan, Thailand,
Hong Kong, and the Bahamas. Don't forget Boston, Birmingham, Cape Cod, or Colorado: we have also made our way all around the continental U.S. Though our working repertoire changes as
new songs are arranged and added, the Tigerlily sound and performance
personality has always remained strong and unique.
We share Princeton's a cappella tradition with seven other a cappella
groups. They are:
