Auditions and Open Rehearsal

oxfordblues — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 16:46:10 +0000

We’re really excited about auditions this year! We will have an open rehearsal in the Campus Center room 313 on Thursday, September 1 from 8-9:30, and auditions on Saturday from 12-5 in the same room. Email kcapron@hc or catch us in the DC all week!

Here’s the process for our auditions.

Goodbye to Grads

oxfordblues — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 08:14:52 +0000

This year we said goodbye to (L to R with sunflowers) pitches Susan and Rachel as well as Gina, Jen and Heather. They will all be sorely missed, but we wish them the best of luck!

The Oxford Blues Turn 25!

oxfordblues — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 18:33:57 +0000

Join the Oxford Blues and over 40 of their alums as they celebrate the 25th birthday of the group. The current Blues will debut part of their fall setlist, and alums will bring back Blues classics.

The concert will be on Saturday, November 6 at 7 pm in Founders Hall. Contact Christine at bluespresident@gmail.com for more information. Non-Haverford students are welcome. See you there!

Update: The full recording of the Alumni Concert is now available at oxfordblues.bandcamp.com!

Reunion!

oxfordblues — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 21:39:55 +0000

In conjunction with our midsemester show, the Oxford Blues are celebrating their 25th birthday! Alums are warmly invited to join us on November 6th. If you have questions, email Christine at bluespresident@gmail.com.

Auditions and Open Rehearsal

oxfordblues — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 21:41:47 +0000

The Blues are looking for girls who love to sing. Any voice part, any experience level. We’ll be tabling at the DC this week and at the Activities Fair on Wednesday. Sign up for an audition there. Auditions will be on Thursday from 6 to 8:30 and on Saturday from 1 to 3. They’ll hopefully be held in Campus Center 313, but I’ll send out an email with the details when that’s confirmed.

At 9:30 on Wednesday (after the Activities Fair), we’ll be holding an open rehearsal in Campus Center 313 so you can get to know us and do a little bit of singing. This is not an audition; it’s designed to help you make an informed choice about your a cappella group selection (read: you should pick us). You won’t have to sing by yourself–just group stuff. Even if you can’t come to the open rehearsal, you can still come to auditions.

Note: If you can’t make your audition or you want to reschedule, please please please call or text me (267-884-2837) or send me an email (bluespresident@gmail.com). We won’t be mad. It just sucks to sit around and wait for someone who’s not showing up.

See you there!
