The Key Elements is a co-ed a cappella group at Cornell University. Founded in 1989, the group mainly performs pieces in
genres such as classic rock, punk, and vocal jazz. 

The group also regularly travels to other east coast universities and just recently completed its first international tour in Ireland in January 2009. 

Check out "The Proverbial Top," the group's latest CD, and look out for the next album which will debut in the spring of 2010.

Known as Cornell's most dangerous sound machine, the Key Elements is like no other group on campus.  Unconventional?  Check.  Innovative? Check.  Always pushing the envelope?  That's a given.
