Lynda is a proud newbie, and loving every crazy second of her giraffe-transformation. When she is not learning songs at lightning speed, she is at play rehearsal--learning more songs and dances and lines as quickly as she can. A Sociology and Theater double major, Lynda hopes to work hard, enjoy college immensely, and pay for it for the rest of her life. She has no spare time, because she has scheduled every second doing things that she loves, like advocating for social justice, and lots and lots of singing. But if she did she would probably take on another activity. This decidedly quirky girl gets immense satisfaction from making people happy, and she is always up for a good, mushy hug, but please don't tickle her--it never ends well.

THE RACHEL

Marti is the treasurer for this menagerie - it's hard to plan for ticket sales, food, as well as giraffe feed (leaves?). She is also the resident male of the group singing the guy parts on most of the vocals when she's not rapping or belting it out like Christina. She is a member of the class of '10 and brings the infamous Jew-ness to the group. In her spare time (ha!) she is an HSSP and NEJS major hoping to go to med school (ah!!!). But to really win her over, just drop her off in a Williams-Sonoma or Linens N'Things - she's good there for at least 2 hours. She is so thankful to be part of this crazy bunch and cannot wait to see where they go next!

Katie is the business manager of RBG. When asked to comment on this, she remarked that she really has no idea who let her be in charge, but it could be fun. Along with her cohorts Stephanie and Matt, who together form the Trinity of Cuteness, she plans on taking over the world (but shhh… it’s a secret). In her spare time, Katie enjoys long walks on the beach, candlelit dinners, watching the Patriots and Red Sox (Yankees suck by the way), and avoiding her massive amounts of homework as a result of being a Biology and Psychology major. |

Dave is the new meat of the group. His special group title is "something for the other memebers to beat into shape". It may not be "business manager" or "co-director", but you gotta start somewhere, right? Right. As the youngest of the giraffes, Dave is naive about many things, such why older giraffes would want to beat up a baby giraffe. Before becoming a part of such a great group, Dave did Drama, improv, and occasional film making in Maine. Now a memeber of the 'Deis class of '11, Dave plans on becoming a dentist. In his spare time, he can be found participating in any number of exciting activities, from frisbee to Tekken. Dave is very excited about RBG and is also tired of writing about himself in the 3rd person, so with that he...I will will go. Possibly to make a sandwich.

A former giraffaholic, and a member from the class of '10, Debra spends most moments of her life illuminated with a goofy grin and hiccup giggles. She performed in the Brandeis musicals Seussical and Thoroughly Modern Millie, and she is ridiculously excited that she now knows a thing or a third about tritones, italian vowels, and dissonance resolving into awesomeness. She is henceforth allowed to be endearingly Awkward because it says so on her Orientation Leader shirt. Two truths and a lie: Debra can body roll like nobody's business; she sends mass text messages to her friends; and she can touch her toes. But don't be fooled by her bubbly charm; she is a reform jew extraordinaire as well as a sociology and gender studies major (::achem:: feminist). She also gives amazing back massages. And please hug her next time you see her. Kbyepeace. |

Ryan Anthony Heisler's RBG title is "co-assistant-business manager in training", and he can say it 10 times fast, too. An avid musician, he plays trumpet and guitar, besides singing. He spends much of his spare time locked in his room, coming out only to eat and go to class. When he does get out, he likes spending time with his far-away friends. He's a member of the class of '10, and he's studying Arabic and the Middle East.

Josh is a talentless hack who got where he is today by spit, grit, and moxie. He hasn't got it, but he flaunts it daily. Rumor has it night was invented so he'd stop flaunting it. As an expert on failure, Josh can't believe his lucky stars that he's part of something as great as RBG. His secret fear is that the other giraffes will at some point discover that they are, indeed, better than him. Until then, he will ride this gravy train wherever it's goin'. Choo Choo! |

Stephanie Leighton (Co-Music Director) is nowhere near the height of an
average giraffe; in fact, she is something of a mutant (perhaps too
much diet coke in her diet?). Dedicated to perfecting the art of
converting instrumental music to gibberish-y syllables, she is
currently committing her third year to the giraffes. In her spare
time she likes to play the rebel and frolick among the lion cubs out
in the savannah, while the others look on with dismay and cluck their
tongues. Such is the life of an exceedingly short yet spirited young
giraffe. Enjoy the music! |

Dan is Co-Music Director and Legionnaire Debonaire of RBG. When abducted from the Savannah of Saratoga Springs, he turned to witchcraft and devilry to achieve his radical and unconventional ends. You'll see him stalking Slosberg, completing his Music Major and not doing finals, or running parkour around Rabb, completing his Philosophy Major and not doing finals. Dan can also be found in the jungles of Bass-Topia in the Brandeis-Wellesley Orchestra as Sovereign of the Basses, casting fear and doubt in the hearts of all violists and heretics. Dan loves orange juice. He will kill for his orange juice. |

Carrie is the tallest Giraffe, thus she is (almost always) the only girl in the second row, and the most likely to be struck by lightning while standing in an open field. She is even taller than Nathaniel, but only by just a little teeny bit. A member of the class of '09, Carrie sang in both her high school's choir and a cappella group and did a lot of theater. While she is not a music director, Carrie is the official pitch pipe blower of the group/the keeper of the keys. This came about for two reasons: 1) She has an uncanny ability to remember the keys of all RBG songs, and 2) She owns the pitch pipe. Carrie loves being part of the RBG family and is very excited for another year of RBG love. |

Born to the royal family of Azerbaijan, Elana was forced to
leave her homeland by the Great Rumpuscat during the Awefull Battle of
the Pekes and the Pollicles. She then joined a troupe of traveling
minstrels who wrote the song "Djinn in a Flask," which was sold to
Christina Aguilera's record company after being renamed "Genie in a
Bottle." In her spare time, Elana enjoys writing, acting (she is
always type-cast as either an old woman or a vixen), maintaining a
gallery of badly drawn art with her roommates, and generally being
responkulous. In her not-spare time, Elana is preparing for a double
major in English and Tiramisu. Give her a good strawberry-banana
smoothie and she may love you forever. But perhaps not.

The details of Nathaniel’s life are quite inconsequential. Nathaniel began his life as the Elder God Cthutthu, which in the old tongue means “one who manipulates rubber bands to unsurpassed heights”. In his past lives, he has composed oceans, sailed symphonies, seasoned humans, and slaughtered chickens. Nathaniel enjoys contrived jokes, shiny stuff, and forcing himself to write in the third person. He dislikes physics. Nathaniel enjoys people watching and taking requests for Sex Bomb. They always tryin’ catch me ridin’ dirty. |

Becca is a member of the class of ’08. She joined RBG in the fall of ’05. She is SUPAH SEXY and is a fan of the singing. That is all. She’s bringing sexy back. |
