Four sopranos, three altos, three tenors, and four basses (one of whom is also the drums). New members are marked
 . Class years are the year we graduate, if all goes well.
| Wanda Gigliotti '00 | Music director. Music major, perfect pitch, which she says is "a curse in a world full of tenors." Arranged "Torn." Knows every part of every song and will sing yours at you until you get it. |
| Jennifer Markle '00 | English major, high soprano, the one who floats the descant over the top. Writes our concert patter, the jokes between songs, and won't let anyone else improvise them. |
| Sharon Sackett '01 | Publicity. Makes the posters, hangs the posters, re-hangs the posters after the wind takes them. Sings the solo on "Steal My Sunshine" with Michael. |
| Natasha Zirkle '02 | Sophomore. Took "Kiss Me" at her audition and kept it. Plays field hockey and has asked us to stop calling her "Kiss Me Natasha." We won't. |
| Jessica Buck '00 | Business manager and webmaster. Biology. Sings the low alto line that nobody notices until it's gone. Owner of the CD box under the bed. Hi. |
| Lorena McLeod '01 | The warmest voice in the group. Solo on "Fast Car," which gets very quiet audiences. Studying psychology, and uses it on us. |
| Melinda Cleaves '03 | First-year. Sight-reads anything. Learned the alto part to "Bohemian Rhapsody" in one weekend, which took the rest of us one semester. |
| Jerry Lago '00 | President. Did not get in his first year and reminds every rejected auditioner of it, kindly. Solo on "Save Tonight" and the opening of "Bohemian Rhapsody." Plays intramural hockey, to Wanda's despair. |
| Benjamin Revell '00 | Our arranger. Math major, which explains a lot about his arrangements. Did "Save Tonight," "The Way," "Steal My Sunshine," and "Bohemian Rhapsody," which took him two years and a box of pencils. |
| Lance Rawson '00 | Keeper of the pitch pipe. Solo on "The Way," and the high falsetto in the middle of "Bohemian Rhapsody" that makes the audience laugh and then gasp. |
| Shawn McKenney '00 | Solo on "Africa." Leads the rainstorm at the start of it (finger snaps, then thigh slaps, then stomps). Has been asked to tone down the stomps by the chapel staff. |
| Daniel Robinson '00 | The low end. Solo on "Under the Boardwalk," where for three minutes he gets to be the lead instead of the floor. The sniffle on track 9 of the CD. He'd like you to know he had a cold. |
| Isaac Chastain '03 | First-year. The low D. Very quiet in person, enormous in the arc. Comes from a family that sings in four parts at Thanksgiving, which we're all jealous of. |
| Michael Joiner '01 | Junior. Vocal percussion and bass. Auditioned on a dare. Now he's the drums. Solo with Sharon on "Steal My Sunshine." |

Yes, that's seven seniors and me, eight of us graduating in May. Next fall's auditions are going to be very important. If you're a
first-year reading this, start practicing now.
alumni arrangers
Some of our best arrangements were written by people who've graduated and still send us music. Thank you to Stephanie
Barber '96 ("Under the Boardwalk"), Angela Nagy '97 ("Africa" and "Fast Car") and
Angel Ashmore '98 ("Kiss Me," which she mailed us from Boston this spring). Alumni: we sing your
charts every week. Come to a concert. Sit in the front. We'll notice.
