What We Stand For
We are more than just a competitive group!
With The Trill Seekers being the newest addition to The Beats, it's known throughout the club that our group is the most intensive. While it does take a lot of dedication to be a Trill Seeker, this intensity is what brings us so close together as a group. I can say with complete sincerity that I have changed because of the people as well as this entire club, and I hope you'll feel the same way! Of course, we want you to think of us as a professional a capella group, but there are still regular people behind the performance, so please enjoy some pictures and testimonials from past and present members on what makes The Trill Seekers so special to them.

Testimonials
"I can't imagine what my university experience would have been like without this group. It pushed me further as a singer, composer, musician, and person. I highly recommend auditioning if you love to sing!"
~ Jason van Zyl
Musical Director (2022)
"TS gave me a group of like-minded people that I actually enjoyed spending time with. We get to combine our passions for music while being goofy and having fun. Auditioning for TS is without a doubt the best decision I made in first year!"
~ Sydney Annelise
President (2022)
"Being part of TS is one of the most unforgettable things I've ever experienced ever. I've been able to truly be who I am with the people who are supportive, inspiring and really fun to perform with. I could write a whole reflection about my wonderful experience. But for now, I highly recommend it for anyone thinking of joining."
~ Okuji Doan

"The memories and friends I made in the Trill Seekers will last me my lifetime. Being a part of this group helped me find confidence in myself that I didn’t even know I had. 10/10 would recommend!"

"TS was such an integral part of not just my year, but my life. I got to meet such wonderful people who truly made me feel like I belonged somewhere, and on top of it all I got to make wonderful music with people I'm proud to call my friends."
~ Breckin Baillie

"Being in the beats over these last three years has been fantastic, but my last year in the Trill Seekers was by far the most fulfilling. It pushed me the hardest in terms of my musical abilities. I have made some of my best friends through this club, and I can honestly say my University experience wouldn't be 1/8th of what it was without this club (plus, how many people can say they've been to the same competition as Pitch Perfect?)"
~ Logan Clarke
Member (2019 - 2022)
“Being the musical director of the Trill Seekers was the highlight of my university degree. When I first attended UBCO, I never imagined I would be a part of something as incredible as this group. From arranging and choreographing set-lists on international stages to putting together sold-out shows for our campus and community, the Trill Seekers gave me the confidence to take the next step in my music career. Not only has the Trill Seekers helped me grow as a musician, but the group has helped me grow as an individual and has given me lifelong friends and unforgettable memories."
