I'm a celebrity!

So we are featured on underthebutton.com! (and by "we," I mean "this blog")

Check it out by clicking HERE.

If you ask me, that is definitely cooler than being featured on www.perezhilton.com. Take that, Off the Beat. 

Apparently, someone reads this blog besides Andrew Caldwell. 

In other news - the Pennchants' very own Bradley recently e-mailed me a link to this video. Take a moment to enjoy...

INTRODUCING...

THE NEW P-CHANTS! They are better than you... (yeah, that means you, Fannie Mae.)

Our Newbs... from left to right...

Nick Cocca! Alex Utay! Josh Goldman! Dan Silverman!

Nick Cocca had not one, not two, not three, but FOUR pet turtles. Did you?

Alex Utay got hit on by Clay Aiken after seeing Spamalot. Did you?

Josh Goldman registered to vote not only in Pennsylvania, but at his current address. Did you?

Dan Silverman lost his virginity when he was 9. Did you?

We didn't think so.

Now that we have our new guys, we can start getting ready for our fall show. We have some pretty awesome songs picked out - just you wait. 

While you wait, please enjoy these pictures of the new and improved Pennchants, minus Doug Lotz. Don't worry, we put the fat people in back.

Newbies

So we have some dandy new guys. I'm sure you are all peeing your pants in anticipation of the names. Unfortunately, I am sick and feel as if a chipmunk is slowly gnawing away at my throat. Therefore, continue pissing yourself until I feel well enough to actually type out a full post with the names and maybe I'll even throw in a funny picture. 

Or you can just watch this video, because I find it humorous. Wow, I really should be studying for BPUB.

Sitting in Auditions...

          I'm sitting in auditions. I'm a little bored. I guess I'll blog.

Last night was FPAN, pretty sexy. We accidently took some dance group's dressing room and then got kicked out and ended up in some big ass room with some other groups. We were trying to figure out what to do during the extra time we had and decided to play "Where's Bennett?" For those of you who do not know, Bennett is our music director. I took some pics so y'all can play along.

WHERE'S THE PENNCHANT?

Tricky, Tricky. 

Let's make it a tad more challenging...

And then we went Sake bombing - A lot more fun than "Where's Bennett?"

Some Audition Info

I moved back into Penn a couple of days ago. The first night back, I was walking with a friend and we saw little pow wows of freshman sitting on the college green. They all looked so eager and ready to claw each other’s eyes out - especially the Wharton ones. How to distinguish between a Wharton freshman and one with a soul? You’ll soon find out.

The point is that all of you freshman, as well as you older students who have not yet realized their creative potential, are about to have an opportunity to audition for the Pennchants! Or I guess you could try out for other groups as well. Yay PAC.

Sarcasm aside, the beginning of the year is a really exciting time. Every a cappella, dance, comedy, and theatre group holds auditions and accepts a few new members. How do you figure out which group to audition for? Come to Freshman Performing Arts Night on Saturday, September 6^th. Check out PAC’s website for more details on that - http://www.dolphin.upenn.edu/pac/ . You’ll get a nice little sample of just about every performing arts group on campus – including the Pennchants.

If you like what you see of the Pennchants, which you no doubt will, come try out. AUDITIONS ARE SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7^TH FROM 12PM-4PM IN HOUSTON HALL ROOM 311 AND MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8^TH FROM 8PM-12AM IN HOUSTON HALL ROOM 301. Auditions obviously don’t take 8 hours, you just have to stop in on one of those days at some point during those times and quickly show us why you are funky enough to join the group. No pressure.

In all seriousness – if you’d like to know more about the group, friend us on facebook and send us a message. Better yet, send me or someone else in the group an e-mail. My e-mail address is winsten@wharton.upenn.edu .

So… let’s sum up this post.

      1.   Shoot us a message if you’d like more info. We don’t bite.
2.     Come see us (and other groups) perform at FPAN on Sept. 6^th – all the cool kids will be there
3.     Come audition Sept. 7^th between 12PM-4PM or Sept 8^th between 8PM-12AM
4.     You’ll maybe get called back after we judge you like how 13-year-old Jewish girls judge each others' bat-mitzvah outfits

We’re excited to meet you guys! Or at least the talented ones.

Just letting you know, we are almost as good as this guy.
