MEMBEARS

Bio: Matt is a bari/bass originally from Melville, NY (Long Island). Some of his favorite things include ivy room falafels, reruns of the Price is Right, Sister Act 2 and reliving memories of past spring break tours with the Bears (especially the ever-popular "Firedrill!" and the illustrious Monkland lady). He is currently studying Theatre Arts (and possibly Psychology as well), so look out for him on a forthcoming episode of MTV's "True Life: I Live in a Cardboard Box."

Bio: Mark Brown II is from Warsaw, Virginia where the high school is one hallway in front of a cornfield - no lie! He is majoring in Theatre Arts and Ethnic Studies and hopes one day to rule the world - one student at a time. He doesn't like to limit himself in voice part so you choose one - tenor, baritone or bass? Time will only tell . . .

Bio: Galen Cho (namely G-Cho) is a bass from Daejeon, South Korea and is studying Applied Mathematics and Economics. His claim to fame is turning into a grizzly Bear during one of our songs, as Galen is, in fact, the first freshman ever to do this.

Bio: Julian is a T1 from Tokyo, Japan who enjoys playing basketball, doing push-ups, and sleeping a lot. Julian is a Theatre Arts concentrator.

Bio: Peter Cipparone is a potential Urban Studies concentrator and sings baritone for the group. He hails from Old Lyme, CT, the home of the tick. Peter's interests include Buffalo Bills football and Ratty turkey dinners.

Bio: Mike is a tenor one that has no problem handling the most girly of parts. He hails from Watchung, New Jersey and is a potential Neuroscience and pre-veterinarian concentrator. Mike enjoys working out for the babes, remembering to grease the waffle makers in the VDUB, and being Tom Waits' biggest fan

Bio: Seth Kadish is a low-singing bass from Portland, OREGON (not that one in Maine) and is currently a graduate student in Brown’s Geological Sciences Department. Despite being the oldest member of the group, Seth still gets asked if he’s old enough to sit in the exit row on airplanes.

Bio: Ellis is a bass hailing from Great Neck NY. Passions include Ultimate Frisbee, The Beatles, Apple computers, and baseball. Ellis is a theatre concetrator, but that's just a safety net; he really wants to be the General Manager of the Yankees. If you see him, ask him to lick his elbow. It's pretty cool.

Bio: Fed is soooooo funny. OMG. Fed lived near Albany, NY before coming to Brown. Fed's real name is Federico, but you can call him Fed. Also, Fed really likes working with computers and watching animal movies. Finally, Fed wants you to know that although this is written in third person he is actually sitting at his computer, alone, typing this out himself. ...will you be my friend?

Bio: Dustin is a T1 originally from Pittsfield, ME and is studying International Relations. He enjoys sandals, singing RENT (for serious, NOT a joke) and eating peanut butter from the jar. He is a red head.

Bio: Lee Taglin is a baritenor from the long and strong island. Lee has many loves, including suspenders, fun times, and a fine peanut butter chocolate milkshake from Johnny Rockets. He is concentrating very hard in economics and theater arts, and is wondering the same thing you are. How do those things have anything to do with each other?

Bio: Jeff is a baritone from West Hartford, CT. His interests include singing, guitar, snowboarding and awkward social situations. His favorite color is blue and maybe green. Jeff is a potential Bio/Neuro concentrator and is rarely late.

Bio: Alex is a 9 to 5 beatboxer, but dabbles in bass/baritone on the weekends and holidays. He staunchly believes that "percuss" should become a standard English verb. He is from Northampton, MA, loves skiing, architecture, and Dave Matthews Band, and is concentrating (very hard) in Urban Studies.

Bio: The new tallest member of the group, Mike Wharton is a bass/baritone (with a little bit of perc and T2 sprinkled in) from Needham, MA. An avid Boston sports fan, he also enjoys opera. He gets confused because there are now three Mikes in the group. Mike doesn't really know his concentration yet and gets self-conscious when writing about himself in the third person.

Bio: Mike is a baritenor born and raised in Natick, MA, home of the largest commercial mall in New England. He is concentrating in Theatre Arts and Education Studies. Some of the group likes to think that Mike joined to sing and have fun, but they are sorely mistaken. He joined because he hates belts, and suspenders were the perfect replacement.
