Hometown: Mishawaka, IN In her own words: ::Imagine this as a voiceover to "Kwah: The Movie"::
Brought together by a love for music of all kinds, these men and women form bonds that will never break.
They live through Stravinsky, hep-hos, German death music, and yet they always come out victorious.
Especially at Homecoming. |

Sometimes without even buying anything! Why she loves the choir: Oh, where to begin. Let's see...I can't even imagine what my life would be like at W&M had I not joined the choir. Not only do I have amazing memories from traveling around the east coast and Eastern Europe and get to attend some very interesting events on campus, (*cough* three feet away from Sandra Day O'Connar *cough*) I have also met many of my very best friends in this group, as well as a whole bunch of super awesome people!

HistorianMichael Blaakman, '09 mablaa@wm.edu Hometown: Fairport, NY Voice Part: Bass 1 Year: Sophomore Major: History and Religion In his own words: Larisa and I get to take photographs of all of our friends at their most embarrassing moments, and then proceed to distribute, circulate, publish, or advertise them as we see fit. Why he loves the choir: Choir is, quite possibly the coolest group of people on the planet. . . .Okay, so maybe that's false. Some of us are pretty darn uncool. But the cool part about all that is that we rejoice in our individual uncoolness which, in turn, makes us collectively cool. Right? Right. Seriously--Choir was the first group to welcome me to campus and has been my family ever since. It is absolutely saturated with the most loving, interesting, and accepting people around. Plus, the music's good, too. It is the perfect group to join and devote one's self to, and has been best part of my time at William and Mary so far. Other Campus Activities: Spotswood Society, intern in Colonial Williamsburg Department of Architectural Research, student assistant to David L. Holmes, Hickory Neck Choral Scholars, and theater here and there. |
