  • RENEW friendships from your years at Ohio State.
  • REFRESH those musicianship skills that you learned while in MGC.
  • RECONNECT with brothers with whom you have lost contact.
  • REVIEW the "Buckeye Medley" — the notes that are written vs. the notes you sing.
  • REMEMBER what it was like to sing for Jim Gallagher and Robert Ward.

 

How firm thy friendship,
