An arch sing is a type of performance put on by collegiate a cappella ensembles, especially on the East Coast of the United States. The casual, public performances are typically held in an archway for reasons of acoustics and shelter from the weather. Typically one or a small number of a cappella groups will perform for a small audience, often to publicize upcoming concerts, though arch sings are also frequently held simply for their own sake. The term is also sometimes used to describe similar casual, outdoor performances not held under arches.
