Colorado Springs, Colorado is home to Crimson & Slate, the premier a cappella ensemble from Cheyenne Mountain High School. Crimson & Slate’s director, Dawn Wisdom, started the group at CMHS in 2002. The girls, Crimson and the guys, Slate performed for many years as two separate ensembles and combined to be Crimson & Slate five years ago.

In years past, the groups have been in the NACC Championship, and the ICHSA National Final ten times. Crimson and Slate have won the CO Jazz & A Cappella event many times, appeared on BOHSA albums, were nominated for AVA awards, and have been featured at CMEA. They’ve opened for several professional a cappella groups, and have performed their own headliner shows at some of the best venues in the country.
