On a Sensual Note (OASN) is American University's premier a cappella group. Founded in the fall of 1996 by Jay Criscuolo and Jay Rao, the all-male group was formed out of the founding members' desire to participate in the time-honored tradition of collegiate a cappella. Seeing that AU lacked any semblance of an a cappella scene, Criscuolo and Rao set to work recruiting other musically inclined individuals, and the Sensual Notes were born.
Since 1996, the men of OASN have dominated the AU a cappella landscape, performing for campus dignitaries[1], touring the East Coast, participating in regional a cappella festivals, bringing the joy of vocal harmony to the students of American University.
The group's most notable performance came on January 28th, 2008 when the campaign of then U.S. Presidential candidate Barack Obama asked OASN to open for a rally at AU where Obama was endorsed by Senator Ted Kennedy[2]. The ensemble learned Obama's campaign theme song, Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" (1970), but was forced offstage after a teleprompter was kicked during their performance.
