Other favorites from the season will include “Beatlemania,” a selection of hit songs made famous by the “Fab Four”; “Let’s Hear It for Boys,” a spoof of some of the popular ’90s boy bands; and “Styx and Stones,” featuring the music of the classic rock bands Styx and the Rolling Stones.

The largest student organizations on campus, with 280 members, the band is composed of students from all colleges of the University and is open to all students by audition regardless of major and class standing.
