Concerts

Every semester, the Sil'hooettes host at least one concert performance, usually held at the University of Virginia's McLeod Hall on a Friday or Saturday evening. The Sils' official website posts relevant information and online ticket sales as the date of the concerts approach. Concert titles are different every semester but typically employ a pun on the word "Sil" (e.g. Natural Sil'ection, Get Sil'ly, Sil'verware Featuring the 'Forks). The Sil'hooettes invite a guest group to perform at these concerts before intermission, usually a male group from another school,^{[citation needed]} and concert performances are typically followed by Sil'hooettes hosted after-parties, advertised to the audience at the show.

Every five years, the Sil'hooettes host an anniversary concert, inviting the Sil'unnae back to relive their glory years. The Sils celebrated their 20th anniversary in April 2009^[8] and celebrated their 25th Sil'ver Anniversary in April 2014.

Fall Roll

Along with concerts and gigs throughout the semester, the Sil'hooettes reserve their fall break at the University of Virginia for a tour of the East Coast called Fall Roll, visiting and performing at various colleges and groups (e.g. Tufts University Beelzebubs, Dartmouth College Aires, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Clef Hangers, Duke University Pitchforks) along the way.^{[citation needed]}

CD

The Sil'hooettes produce a new studio album approximately every three semesters. Their most recent album, Silver Hour, produced by James Gammon, was released in November 2018.^{[citation needed]}

"Homer"

Upon achieving acceptance into the Sil'hooettes, a new member is affectionately called a "Homer" and often referred to by "Homer" followed by their last name until the rest of the membership deems said member ready to shed her "Homer title". The Homer period is a rite of passage for the Sil'hooettes and is a long-standing group tradition.^{[citation needed]}
