Pitches: Another a cappella group, another trip to Bermuda. The twelve Pitches travel with those handsome Kroks and Dins to--surprise, surprise--sing at hotels and restaurants all over the island. Random Pitch-Din hookups have become the tradition, as has "Fantasy Night," a crazy evening where each Pitch can pick her favorite Din solo to sing with some Din accompaniment. The cost?
