A Very Special Gig

On Sunday April 22nd, the men of CMAC lined the Classics Arch to surprise Luke Rodehorst, AB ’09.

As Luke and his girlfriend Lilly walked through the arch, they were met by nine CMACers singing Shenandoah. Lilly had contacted CMAC some weeks before, alerting us that she and Luke were going to be in town for their fifth anniversary, and that she had an idea. We would surprise him! Little did we know, Lilly had one more surprise in store that day. As the last note of Shenandoah faded, she dropped on one knee and, with nine bow-tie-and-blazered gentlemen as her witness, proposed. Sort of (It’s a bit complicated).

We’re all incredibly happy for Luke and Lilly, who have been close to CMAC from the beginning: Luke, aside from being the Chair of our Alumni Board, was one of CMAC’s earliest members, and four years ago, surprised Lilly in the same way. Now that the score is settled, congratulations to Luke and Lilly!

Congrats to the new Board!

With the end of another year drawing ever nearer, CMAC gathered to hold its annual elections for its Executive Board. After a close-fought election filled with lively discussion (and a surprise infusion of Dat Donuts), the new board was selected. Congratulations to the new Executive Board of Chicago Men’s A Cappella – next year will be great!

What a visit it was! From the lovely ladies of the University of Michigan Women’s Glee Club, to the renowned acoustics of Hill Auditorium, to the unforgettable concert itself, everything was perfect. We’re still trying to absorb it all, but rest assured: updates with photos and recordings will be on their way!
