The Ladies in Red female acapella group featured new arrangements of popular music during their annual concert Saturday night.

The Ladies in Red have been performing since 1993 and typically have one big show per semester. This semester the “Ladies” were Tricia Artim, Gracie Bell, Tracy Kristin Johnson, Ashley Oskardmay, Chelsea Schwabe, Olivia Springer and Krystal Rodas. They performed their yearly show to a packed theater of onlookers and supporters.

Sponsored by the N.C. State Music Department, the group has a diverse makeup of girls with various singing talents. Though a professional staff supports them, the girls manage themselves and are responsible for the quality of their productions.

This year, music directors and members of the group Chelsea Schwabe and Ashley Oskardmay took the ladies in a Top 40 direction, selecting and arranging popular songs and riffs for performances.

“[Ashley and I] have been doing collaborative arranging with songs we like and putting a creative spin on them,” Schwabe said. “We [music directors] have a vision for the group – where we want to take it – and we’re looking to appeal to a younger crowd and reach out to the N.C. State
