This past year, I have had the amazing opportunity to experience Europe on two separate occasions: the first, when I studied abroad in London throughout Fall Semester, and the second with my Glee Club bro’s just over two months ago (Wow, summer has really flown by!). So, when we hopped …
Sir, You’ve had far too much Rosé: a Parisian Adventure
It’s sad—almost depressing, even—how beautiful Europeans are. Everyone seems to have stepped right off of a runway and onto the sidewalk. How dare they? Because beside them, there’s me—all lanky and ethnic with my posse of pale, singing teens. So, yeah, I felt a little out of place. Whatever. That’s …
An Old Friend…
When we featured Elizabeth as a guest soloist in our Spring Concert set, we were blown away with her incredible performance on stage. She stole the show for a brief two minutes, striding elegantly through our ranks to the tune of the classic “Lida Rose” from the Music Man. Her …
Going Back to Our Roots
Bonjour! I’m Michael Moss, a rising junior from Shoreview, MN studying Political Science and Philosophy. Besides singing in the Glee Club, I spend most of my time trying to teach God Quad’s squirrels how to paint. It’s my pleasure to tell you about our brief stay in Le Mans, France. …

Julie Andrews, German Beer, and So Much More…
After leaving Vienna, we drove to Munich, but before we arrived, we had a pit stop to make. You see, when you tour Europe with more than 50 music-loving college men, you get used to some strange things. One such thing is the bus’s tendency to spontaneously break into song. …
Glee Club in the Service: A Tribute to Our Military on Independence Day
We’re taking a break from our series of posts about our European Tour to bring the focus back to the U.S. in honor of its 239th birthday. Earlier this week, our President, Stuart Streit, got a chance to sit down with rising sophomore Kieran Kelly, a Midshipman in the Navy …
A Musical Paradise
“When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?” -Billy Joel, Vienna. As our bus inched closer and closer to our destination, these lyrics from Billy Joel’s iconic tribute to Austria’s capital sounded again and again in my mind. It was fitting, I suppose. In the song, he paints Vienna as a …
