About
In 1992, Awaken was established as UCLA's first a cappella group and Southern California's oldest co-ed collegiate a cappella group. Former members include nine-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, Hamilton star Joanna Jones, actress Nicolette Robinson who recently became the lead of the Broadway musical Waitress, and members of the award-winning group ARORA. Awaken performs at both on-campus and off-campus events such as UCLA Spring Sing, UCLA Dance Marathon, AIDS Walk Los Angeles, The West Coast A Cappella Showcase, The International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella, and other festivals and competitions around the West Coast.

How to join
Performing groups usually audition early in fall, sometimes again in winter. Many also run open classes or socials anyone can attend.
This is the typical process for this kind of club. Their Instagram or email will have the specifics.
