We have two new Pennchants this semester! Introducing:

ZURI

Yeah, he's a DJ. And I'm not referring to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Zuri will spin you right 'round.

ANDREW

He's Scott's roommate. And he raps. Freshmen Girls: initiate swooning... now.

Audition for the Pennchants!

Do you like to sing? Do you want to be a rock-star? Do you own a pet monkey?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Pennchants might be the group for you!

The Pennchants are looking for a few bright-eyed men to join the group. If you're interested, please contact meierbd@sas.upenn.edu to set up an audition!

I know this is a bit late, but the Pennchants would like to thank everyone who came out to our Fall Show! Especially Irving and Shirley.

We really do appreciate the overwhelming support.

For those of you who missed the show, we now have the videos up on youtube! Check out Akash's obscene comments on the Pennchants Youtube channel.

Hope everyone has a great winter break!

FAVORITE A CAPPELLA SYLLABLE: Meow

HOW MUCH CAN YOU BENCHPRESS? (CAN BE MEASURED IN QUANTITY OF SMALL CHILDREN): Assuming a small child weighs 45 lbs, then I can benchpress zero small children. (If they were impaled on the bench press bar that would be murder) But I can benchpress at least 3500 M&Ms.

HOW MUCH DO YOU RESPECT AMANDA SPRINGER’S RIGHTS? (ON A SCALE FROM 1 TO 10): We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

SCREW, MARRY, KILL – MEGAN FOX, AMY GUTMANN, NICK COCCA’S VOICE: Def Screw Megan, Def Marry Nick Cocca’s Voice (even if we can’t spoon it will still help me fall asleep), and that only leaves one other thing…

Back At Penn

You know the Pennchants are back at Penn when one of our members gets assaulted by three randos during NSO. As Ronald McDonald would say, I'm lovin' it.

The Pennchants are back and ready to take on some new members! But first, we will be performing at Freshman Performing Arts Night (FPAN) this Saturday (September 12th). If you are interested in trying out, come check us out. If you are interested in throwing lingerie at us while we perform, come check us out. It's a great opportunity to get a sample of all of Penn's performing arts groups, including the Pennchants. The show starts at 6:30PM at Zellerbach Theatre. If you don't know where that is, just Bing it.

After you see us perform, get excited for auditions. Here is the information:

Wow, Megan Fox is hot.

Long Time, No Post

It's been a while, but the Pennchants are back! It's been a crazy semester, but one full of great things. Here are just a few:

1. We've been planning our 20th anniversary show

2. We had to cancel a mixer with a Drexel group because of the meningitis scare

3. Zhibo found a girlfriend on the New York subway

Anyway, we'll be getting back to y'all soon with details about the big 2-0. The Pennchants are almost legal. 

In the mean time, don't catch the measles! Too soon?

Happy Holidays

I have something to share about the Pennchants. As an a cappella group that holds itself to the  highest of moral standards (yes, we paid the Cornell Touchtones back for getting their car towed), the Pennchants believes that trust and inclusion are very important virtues. 

For those of you who do not remember - which I'm sure is every one - two entries ago I posted a photo of the Pennchants. Dan Silverman has been pretty down and out about not being included in that photo. In the spirit of Qwanzaa, Nick Cocca was nice enough to photoshop him into the pic. I figured that I would post the new and improved group shot:

I think we are a more attractive group in black and white.

Merry Christmas!

XOXOXOXO,

The Meiers

What's Next?

First of all, a big thank you to every one who came out to see our fall show! We were so good that some one felt the need to bitch about us on Juicy Campus. That's when you know you've made it.

Now we are back to working on our newest CD. After a long session in the recording studio this weekend, we took advantage of a good photo opp:

Dan decided to sleep in and therefore isn't shown above. Sorry, Dan.

We also have to start deciding which songs to sing for our spring 20th anniversary show! What about the song from the following video? Maybe?

...maybe not.

Get ready, bitches...
