An Update on BOSS 2020

The BOSS team has been doing our best to keep our spirits up amidst this global crisis while also looking to the future of the festival and a cappella as a whole. Ultimately, we have determined that the most responsible decision is to officially cancel BOSS 2020 and hope to direct our efforts to BOSS 2021. Between the noted dangers of group singing, air travel, and large gatherings, coupled with the uncertainty of how schools will handle a return to campus, it’s a perfect storm of conditions we wouldn’t encourage people to expose themselves to so soon.

We will be offering refunds to all attendees, as previously announced, with an added option to “Gift Up” your Eventbrite purchase for use toward a future CASA festival. We see this as a great option for groups who essentially have use-it-or-lose-it funding—if you obtained financial support to attend this year and would be getting a refund for the school that would not be added on to next year’s budget, you can instead choose to have it converted to a gift card that could be applied toward a future festival without repeating the process.

For all refunds, please email Angela Huang with your order number and refund preference; for any festival-related questions, you can contact Alexander Koutzoukis or Meron Mogos.
