The Dartmouth Dodecaphonics ("Dodecs") is Dartmouth's oldest and premier gender-inclusive a cappella group. The group was created in 1984 by 12 founding members (hence, "Dodeca"). They sing mainly contemporary pop music, with arrangements by such artists and groups as Queen, Maroon 5, Whitney Houston, Evanescence, and Alanis Morissette. They also sing doo-wop favorites, 1980s songs, traditionals, Dartmouth songs, and sometimes disco. The Dodecs was the first Dartmouth group to be recognized on "Best Of Collegiate A Cappella", a compilation a cappella CD, with their rendition of the Smashing Pumpkins' "Drown." Dodecs released their album "Hooked on Dodecaphonics" in 2012 and were planning to release a new album in the fall of 2016.
