The rivalry between Florida State University and University of Florida is fierce across many endeavors \u2013 and it also exists in the arena of performing arts.<\/p>\n

A cappella teams from the two universities are facing off against each other in a 64-team, tournament-style competition along with colleges across the U.S.<\/p>\n

Florida State University\u2019s a cappella team, All Night Yahtzee, has 17 members who are looking to advance from the second round.<\/p>\n

Joshua Emmanuelli sings with All Night Yahtzee<\/a>, and is the group\u2019s public relations director.<\/p>\n

\u201cFSU and UF have a big history of competition, whether being with football, and now a cappella,\u201d Emmanuelli told WFSU Thursday. \u201cWe\u2019re going against Gestalt, which is a great group from UF. So if we move on from this round, we go on to round 3.\u201d<\/p>\n

People interested can watch video performances from All Night Yahtzee and other groups and vote on the website UpstagedU.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Emmanuelli says the competition is a friendly one. It\u2019s a chance to put a spotlight on a cappella teams, and maybe even get the art form in front of new fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnically you\u2019re supposed to watch all the videos before you vote,\u201d Emmanuel said. \u201cAnd I think that\u2019s really amazing because it gives recognition and attention not only just to popular groups, but also some more less-known groups within the community. And I think it\u2019s a really great opportunity for all of us to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whichever team ultimately wins the tournament will get $11,000 in total prize money, and half of that will go to a good cause. Teams were able to pick a charity of their choice, and Emmanuelli explains All Night Yahtzee chose a cause close to their hearts:<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, All Night Yahtzee chose the charity For The Girls, it\u2019s a nonprofit that raises money toward Black trans people\u2019s gender-affirming procedures, and also for their rent. We really wanted to choose this charity because that community is one of the most unprotected communities in America.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of Thursday afternoon, FSU\u2019s team held a narrow lead with 53 percent<\/a> of the vote. Voting for the second round ends Friday night.<\/p>\n

If the team advances to round 3, All Night Yahtzee would face the winner of a matchup between the Melodores, from Vanderbilt, and the Prismatics from Belmont University.<\/p>\n

All Night Yahtzee also has a new album coming out in December. <\/p>\n
