Part of the reason why ooc is so awesome is that its members are one of a kind! Here on this page you can meet some of our incredible performers and get to know a little more about them. We even have some vintage biographies from past OoCers!

Soyoung Park - Alto Miss Director Once upon a time, there was a bunny with a fluffy tail, keen ears and sharp teeth. And then she carried a dark-green binder with a picture of stapler on it. Speaking of a stapler, she thinks that good staplers with smooth actions are awesome. Her current stapler is pink. Pink reminds her of Leninade, which is her favorite soda. Soda sounds good. Maybe she has to crash the c-store and buy lots and lots of soda. Sodas are awesome. So are staplers. Hm, this biography is sketchy and it's getting nowhere... Anyway, her obsession with bunnies started when she and her best friend from high school saw this slam poet performing a poem about a bunny. That was awesome. And then there was the Killer Rabbit from Monty Python And The Quest for The Holy Grail... Yeah... That movie was so cool. Speaking of movies, she enjoys funny, slightly disturbing, meaningful movies. And this applies to books as well. Oh, that reminds her of the hum reading that she has to do for tomorrow's 9:00am class. Frag. She does not understand why people have to schedule classes so early in the morning (by the way, she's not a morning person. She'd rather call herself nocturnal).........hm...ooh, a cappella! She joined OoC because she loves music in general, and has wanted to sing for her entire lifetime but many circumstances of life have prevented her from singing. So yeah, through OoC, she gets tons of singing and that makes her happy. Yay!!

John Shen - Baritone / Percussion The Indominable OoC Webmastor / Business Manager In the surreal social landscape that is Caltech, a terrible neurosis has swept at least 1 in 40 of the student population. It is called cappellitis, and if you are reading this, you may be expressing the disorder. It is a socioaudial obssessive-compulsive disorder that causes addiction to a cappella music. It can be contracted in early stages through the air by the sound of sweet harmony. Most susceptible are those who have been in close proximity to an active cappella group. In its advanced stages it causes loss of temporal sense, lack of sleep, a neurotic sense of humor, and compulsions to sing or beatbox, depending upon the gender of the diseased. At left we have a picture of a case study of middle-stage cappellitis. John Shen contracted cappellitis three years ago from Out of Context and immediately joined two a cappella groups, but has since remained in one for mental health reasons. His therapy includes listening to music, humming while swimming, electroshock treatment, and playing the guitar. He is currently taking medications for his disorder, but modern science has little hope for a cure. Sadly, he will never again lead a normal life...

aleXANder Sonn - Bass Once Went to Rehearsal After More Drinks Than I Can Count On My Hands The subtitle says it all.

Aditya "Dity" Rajagopal - Tenor / Reserve The-Now-Number-One-"Raja" If you are reading this profile, that means you have way too much free time. That means that I can tell you about the man I admire most, Jimmy Valvano. When Jimmy V was 17 years old, he took a plain white index card, and wrote all this life ambitions: to play college basketball, to become head coach of a collegiate program, to win at MSG, and to win at national championship. By the age of 36, he had achieved every single goal. As the coach of the N.C. State Wolfpack, Coach Valvano led his team to the 1983 NCAA Men's Division 1A Championship. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer in 1992. A few months before his death, Jimmy V gave the following speech: We are starting the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research. And it's motto is "Don't give up, don't ever give up." That's what I'm going to try to do every minute that I have left.. I guess that's what I am going to do also.
