People Get Ready, or PGR for short, is a co-ed a cappella group formed in 1998 by a bunch of Middlebury students who wanted to sing contemporary Christian rock and pop music. After going strong for six years, the group entered hibernation from 2004 until the spring of 2008, when it was resurrected by an all-new group of interested students inspired by the PGR reunion concert in the fall of 2007 at Middlebury. Read more about our history.
The group is divided into the traditional soprano, alto, tenor, bass, solo(s) and vocal percussion parts. Most of PGR's music is self-arranged by members who want the group to sing their favorite new Christian pop/rock song, so you can expect to hear well-known songs-both old and new-at each concert. See our repertoire or meet the members of PGR.
PGR recently held two "We're Back" concerts in the spring of 2008 for enthusiastic crowds of students. The second concert was a collaborative effort with the Mountain Ayres, Middlebury's Renaissance a cappella group. Contact us to learn about upcoming concerts or to hire us to sing at your event!
