Okay so I lied

Alums,

I apologize for never getting some pictures or videos up before Spring Fever. We were all just so busy with rehearsals, school, family, etc.

On a more positive note, SPRING FEVER WAS AWESOME! We all had such a great time on stage and really enjoyed having all the alumni come join us for some songs. Our group was as big as it's ever been with the 9 of you who came up on Saturday night, and we had a blast partying with yall after the concert. Pictures of the concert and party (and some totally incriminating evidence) will be posted soon for the enjoyment of all the alums.

Feel free to leave us feedback about Spring Fever. All your input is appreciated.

Hopefully we'll see more of you out there next year, and thanks to all who joined us this year!

CDs

Hi Guys,

I just read through the reviews of Shotgun and it looks amazing. I've seen a few places online that are selling it, but I'm interested in making the most money go to the group as possible (the bookstore used to take a big chunk out of our profit - I assume it's still the same).

So what's the best way to get my hands on a CD and help the group?

A test.

I am just making sure that I can actually post here. It's awesome to know that the 'Taves are still running along at breakneck pace. Wondrous. Who knew at that first rehearsal that anything would really come of it?

Huzzah!

SPRING FEVER XIII STARTS TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!

Hey alums!

We're very excited for Spring Fever this year. I know I promised some footage of the group you love best, so be sure to visit this page on Friday morning to check it out. Remember the schedule:

Friday, 3/23: 7:30 pm in Camp Concert Hall
Featuring: The Octaves, Off the Cuff, Bucknell Bisonchips, JMU Bluestones, and The Octaves (again)

Saturday, 3/24: 7:30 pm in Camp Concert Hall
Featuring: The Sirens, Choeur du Roi, UVA Hoos in Treble, and a special OCTAVES DOUBLE SET!

Since this blog is only reaching about 10-12 alums, tell everyone you know, and send their email addresses to mt8rn@yahoo.com so I can invite them to the blog. Also, I'm working on a master list of all the Octaves in the world right now... unfortunately I can only go about 6 years back. Hopefully you all can help me complete it.

I'll see you all this weekend, and don't forget to check the blog again on Friday!

SPRING FEVER XIII!!!!

Hey alums,

Just wanted to remind you that Spring Fever XIII is coming up in less than two weeks! If you are in the area, or if you want to take a trip, come out to our annual concert on March 23 and 24 in the UR Camp Concert Hall at 7:30pm. This year's guest groups include some of the best in the nation, including the Bucknell Bisonchips, the JMU Bluestones, UVA's BOCA '07 honored Hoo's in Treble, and UR's own Choeur du Roi, who will be releasing an album next week.

The current Octaves, especially myself, would love to see you all in the audience next week as the performance would not be the same without alums.

More news to come about Spring Fever in the next week or so, including a possible sneak peak at some of the songs we may or may not be performing.

I look forward to meeting some of you soon,
