De Minimis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the a cappella group. For the Latin expression, see De minimis.
De Minimis is the contemporary a cappella group of the National Law School of India University, Bangalore, India and consists entirely of undergraduate students of the B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) programme. Set up in 2003, the group's composition changes every year as students enter and graduate from the university. Members are selected by an audition process every July.
For the most part, De Minimis's repertoire consists of covers of popular songs, although it is not restricted to a particular genre and the group occasionally adds its own lyrics and musical variations. De Minimis has performed at the Glorious Festival of Harmony, an annual concert of choirs from across India, since 2004, and also performs at inter-collegiate competitions and concerts around Bangalore.
