Spring Semester 2006

Thank you to everyone who came out to see our Midwinter show last weekend! We had a great time and we hope that you all did as well!

With Midwinter behind us, we are busy preparing for the rest of the semester and lots of singing! Stay tuned for updates regarding gigs...perhaps we'll be in a town near you!

New New Guys and Midwinter 2006!

Congratulations to our newest new guys, Eric Cinelli '09 and John Greenhalgh '09!! Thank you to every who came out for our auditions this semester...you were all great which made our decisions especially difficult!

For all you 'Jacket fans out there, our biggest concert of the year, Ice Age: the 21st Annual Midwinter Jamboree, is quickly approaching! We hope to see all of you on Saturday, February 11 at 8:00 in Strong Auditorium for a night of great entertainment! Tickets are on sale right now at the Common Market for $5, so get your's today!

Spring Auditions

Just a reminder to all you 'Jacket fans out there that we will be holding auditions on Monday, January 23 from 8 until 11. For information about the group and to sign up for an audition, feel free to stop by the Meet the 'Jackets event on Friday, January 20 in Friel Lounge (SBA) from 6:30 until 8:00 or contact Craig for details.

We hope to see a ton of you guys out for auditions!

Happy Days

Finals are finally over (well, for most of us anyway...) and break is here. Thanks for the support this semester, and we look forward to seeing you next semester! For those of you who are interested, stay tuned for information on open auditions at the begining of the semester. And everyone save February 11th, 2005, the night of our 21st Annual Midwinter Jamboree [Title forthcoming], our biggest show of the year! Everyone have a great non-secularly-specific winter vacation season (ha, try to sue that), and we'll see you next semester for another round of snow, tests, class, cold, papers, and A Cappella (we haven't decided which one is worse yet either).

End of the Fall Semester

It's hard to believe that the fall semester is already coming to a close! Even with our upcoming finals, however, we're still finding time to perform.

This Thursday you can see you favorite 'Jackets in crazy costumes at the 71st Annual Boar's Head Dinner in Douglass Dining Center.

On Friday, we will be traveling to perform with the Harpur Harpeggios of SUNY Binghamton.

Saturday at 3:00 in the Wells-Brown Room of Rush Rhees Library the YJ's will guests at Vocal Point's annual Holiday Show. Come on out to see your favorite a cappella groups!

Finally, we're already busy preparing for our next upcoming show on campus, the 21st MIDWINTER JAMBOREE, scheduled for Saturday, February 11 at 8:00 in Strong Auditorium. Complete with brand new songs and old favorites, guest groups, and, of course, some wild antics, the show is sure to be a great time. We hope to see you all there!

From all the 'Jackets, good luck with the end of the semester and happy holidays!

YellowJackets/Vocal Point Alumni Show!

With Meliora Weekend right around the corner, it's time again for the YellowJackets/Vocal Point Alumni Show to be held on Saturday, October 22 at 9:30 PM in the Palestra. Come out and see 85 combined years of great a cappella at Rochester!

Tickets are $5 and are available through the Office of College Advancement, registration at Meliora Weekend, or at the door.

We hope to see you all there!

Thanks Everyone!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and made our first joint show with the Midnight Ramblers a massive success - although the dust hasnt yet settled and we dont know for sure, initial exit polling conducted by FOX news indicates that approximately thirty thousand people attended (don't tell the Fire Marshall, he'd probably take away our foreman grills).

For anyone interested that missed us after the show, you can order our CD's or the Ramblers through our respective websites, at substantially lower prices than the bookstore. Also feel free to Email Us with any comments, suggestions, or thoughts you had about the show or our group- We'd love to hear your thoughts (especially if they involve making fun of Jake).

Thanks again to everyone who made it, and we hope you had fun!


P.S. GO SOX!

YellowJackets/Ramblers Fall Show 2005!

Tickets are available at the Common Market (cash/flex) or at the door(cash only)- $5 for UR Undergrads with ID, $7 General Public. We hope to see you all there!

New Year, New Jackets!

The University of Rochester YellowJackets are pleased to welcome our two newest members: Corey Krafte '08 and Steve Kim '09. Stay tuned for news on upcoming concerts where you can see/hear/congratulate/throw things at them.

Thank you to everyone who came out for our two nights of open auditions. We heard a bunch of great voices this year, and we thank you all for making our decisions extremely tough. For anyone who didn't make it this time, we hope you'll try again next semester.

If you wanted to audition but couldn't make this week, feel free to contact Craig to look into setting up a private audition.

Auditions!

The school year is almost upon us already, and that means it must be time for Auditions. There will be a interest meeting on Tuesday, August 30th, at 7PM in the River Level of the Chapel. The meeting will have all four campus a cappella groups. You can sign up for auditions there. The first round of auditions will be Thursday, Sept. 1st from 6:30PM - 10PM, the second round will be Saturday, Sept. 3rd from 1PM - 5:30PM. Auditions only take about 5-10 minutes each, so sign up for your time slot and come psyched to sing. If you can't make the interest meeting or an audition time but you're still interested in auditioning, contact Craig

For more information, watch for us around during orientation, come to the meeting, or contact Craig

Hope to see you all there!
