"at formed mainly at first not necessarily as a singing group but as more of a social group," Glee Club President Drew Smith said. "But at the same time, singing was a big part of it." Smith said the club was ini- tially a loose arrangement of both vocals and instrumen- tals but eventually evolved into a more structured cho- rus. Now it stands alongside Harvard's Glee Club as one of the most prestigios of its type in the United States. The club is comprised of four vocal sections and cur- rently has 103 members. The group performs repertoires chosen by Director Paul Ear- din, who is also an associ- ate professor in the School of Music, Theatre '& Dance, with music selections vary- ing from folk songs to Latin Renaissance pieces. The club rehearses twice a week and performs every fall and spring at Mill Auditorium. In addition, it tours the state of Michigan and the Midwest twice a year and internation- ally every four years. "We've been to every con- tinent except for Africa on our tours," Smith said. "So we're pretty well traveled as a group." For its 150th anniversary, the club plans to celebrate by premiering a piece commis- sioned from former faculty member William Bolcom. The group plans to invite Glee Club alumni to a celebration weekend in the spring. Maintaining connections with alumni is an important part of the Glee Club. "One thing that's great about the Glee Club is that you get such a strong alumni base. We'll talk to people from 20, 30 years ago," said Joe Wieciek, the assistant alumni relations manager and co-150th anniversary coordinator. Wieciek also said the group is trying to create an alumni tour group to further main- tain the alumni bond. As part of its 150th celebra- lion, the Glee Club is set to perform Nov. 21 at Hill Audi- torium featuring an Ameni- can-themed repertoire. - ALEXtTY RScENBttvArUM PHOTOCOUReTtSY MtN'SOGLEE CLot Members at the Mes's Glee Glob perform durint a dress rehearsol tar the grasp'sSprng 2009 concert. 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, Mt 48109-t327 www.michigandaily.com GARY GEACA DAN NEWMVAkN Editor in Chief Business Manager 734-647-3336 734-764-05ts graca@michigasdoiy.com tmdbusiness@gmai.com CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom office hoursn-Thurs. 1.m. - 2 a.
