Every year, we proudly host the highly anticipated Contemporary Vocal Ensemble Festival, this year featuring renowned clinician Deke Sharon! Our Annual SpringSing! Concert showcases a delightful fusion of jazz, pop, and standards spanning various eras. We are also a featured ensemble at graduation and convocation ceremonies, whether singing our alma mater song, the National Anthem, or something from our wide-ranging repertoire. This year, we are honored to perform a concert at Disney World in Orlando, FL!

We make many special guest appearances, including a remarkable performance with GenerationW in 2019 and a memorable showcase at the Jacksonville Children's Chorus First Coast Honor Choirs Festival.

鈥淚 had the privilege of being a member of the RiverTones and Student Director for 3 years. I was exposed to a wide variety of genres and vocal styles such as blues, pop music, and even reimagined classical opera pieces. Here I improved my leadership skills in a hands-on setting by leading Friday sectionals. While I can attribute many musical victories to the RiverTones, the main victory is the friendships I formed. Being in an all-female vocal jazz ensemble has given me life-long friends, confidants, and supporters in the professional world. Thanks to Professor Barone and all the past and current Tones, I feel extremely well prepared for my future.鈥�
