Hey Octet fans - it's time for something exciting and new. The UC Men's Octet Archives have just hit YouTube, and the archivist (an Octet Alumni) is sharing classic Octet music with YouTube. Enjoy "Wimoweh (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)" below, and then click on the link (even further below) to enjoy other Octet classics. I am SO excited for this to happen, and I hope you will enjoy all the music to come from this INCREDIBLE group.) Also, I am going to announce the official 2013-2014 Octet as soon as I know, for sure, who are in the group. I KNOW that we have 2 Kyles, and one of them is an alumni, and American Idol contestant. Oh, yeah. It's gonna be a good year.
Sorry it's been a while, but there has been some problems with the home internet. (Hopefully this will be fixed soon.)
Sigh. Kyle Crews. I was rooting for you. The woman who said that Kyle had the "weakest voice" needs to sit down and watch the Lady Marmalade video. I happen to think he has the BESTEST voice! Anyway, I can't wait to see what Kyle is up to next. Maybe rejoining the Octet? His time in that group was way too short. Below is the most recent performance by the Octet. The guys are sounding great, but I noticed that one of them was missing. Where's Kyle? Then I saw this on the Octet's facebook status... ...oh. I might have to start watching this American Idol show.
I hate change. That's what my friends would tell you, and I freely admit it. It's my issue. I get used to how things are and then, boom, I have to remember how things used to be. And sometimes change is a good thing. I never realize that until after the fact, but there are changes that are for the better. So, it comes with both a glad and heavy heart that I must tell you that some of the current Octet will soon be "Oldtet". Oh, we may see them with the occasional alumni joining the Octet on stage to sing "Princess Papuli" or "I Get Around" during Spring Show or we might remember old favorites as we peruse YouTube's older videos, but they will, from next semester onward, be "Oldtet".
Lawrence Chu who has been in the group forever, Aroon Vijaykar who joined the group slightly after forever and Parth Bhatt whose name I just learned, will be leaving the Octet at the end of the semester. It's always difficult until I see the new group gel. Next semester, the Octet will have some new voices joining them in song. Welcome Zach Johnston and Kyle Crews! I'm sure that they will be wonderful new additions to the Octet! They will probably have another audition to make up the remaining open spot. Well, that's about it for this post - THE FIRST ONE IN APRIL?!? What exactly have I been doing with my time? Oh, and the Octet will be doing an Unbuttoned show (It's FREE, people. Go if you're able to!) Thursday, April 28 · 8:00pm - 9:30pm2050 VLSB (Valley Life Sciences Building) Bless Your Face, -Tiffany Z. |
