Sing Song 2026 filled Moody Coliseum as sorority, fraternity and mixed voice class acts took the stage with high-energy performances during the 70th annual production. This year’s themes ranged from the Lorax and parrots to a George Washington-inspired act, with Gamma Sigma Phi, Ko Jo Kai and the mixed class winning overall. Each performance showcased choreography, colorful costumes and vocal harmony, continuing the tradition of creativity and competition. The weekend also featured performances from hosts Tamil Adele, Brinkley Fecci, Elliott Hembree, Laci Jackson, Barrett Roberson and Cierra Zamora, as well as musical appearances by Hilltop A Cappella, Foundation A Cappella, Grace Note A Cappella and the Jazz Ensemble.
