Cruisin' Concert !!
With a set of brand new songs, some new dance moves, and two new members, our Spring Concert blew the audience away, sunglasses and all! We had a lot of fun and want to thank everyone who came!

Fall Concert !!
Harmonic Motion's annual parent's weekend concert was a great success. With many new members and a ever-increasing selection of songs, HarMo looks forward to a busy and exciting fall semester!

Singing in Needham –Harmonic Motion took a trip to Needham and sang for the Rotary Club; we also performed for the Historical Society. Here are the photos!

Take a break from studying and come join the fun!!!

Harmonic Motion Has Been Busy
After welcoming in our newbies, HM went on a fabulous retreat to Annie's house in Westwood MA!! We had a chance to sing, relax, and bond over activities like bowling and shrinky-dink making. A week later we had a gig in Philly, as part of an A Cappella Fest organized by Drexel University.

Harmonic Motion Bids Farewell to 2004
At our annual Commencement Concert, HM said goodbye to five seniors - Kate, Joe, Seth, Genevieve, and James - and wished them the best of luck in their lives after Harmo. We'll miss you guys, and we know you're going to do great things.

Times, they are a changing...
It's the summer, and that means your loveable webmaster has a lot of time on his hands. Astute visitors may have noticed recent additions to the pictures pages and changes in our roster (goodbye seniors *sniff*) and our songlists. We've retired a number of songs, thought up a bunch more to arrange for next year, and more change is to come. Speaking of change to come, Congratulations to Brown Class of 2008! We encourage you to look around the website to learn about our group and to shoot us an e-mail for info on auditions or the group in general.

Harmonic Motion Returns
Bleary eyed, we debarked the airplane and were greeted by high-30s and rain. It's great to be home in little Rhodie, even if there are no swimming pools, beach volleyball courts, or theme parks...

eGad! 40,000 hits!
Harmonic Motion's website has just surpassed the 40K milestone. Celebrate by spinning around 40,000 times or buying 40,000 Twinkies.

New Webmaster
Harmonic Motion's website has a new webmaster. Matt has taken over web and computer guru-ery duties. We all pray this place doesn't fall apart.

NEW HARMO!
We gladly welcome Ben Mantell into our fold! Yay for Ben!

Spring Concert wows audience!
Our annual Spring Concert was excellent, featuring the debut of some of our newest songs and two guest groups, the Harvard Callbacks and the Tufts Amalgamates.

We say farewell...temporarily speaking.
The beginning of the second semester was unusually poignant this year, as Seth and James left to study abroad in France and Mexico, respectively.

Jon and Gen return from Brown (and Sweden)!
The start of the spring (or really, the start of the middle of winter) fortuitously brought us on leave Harmos Jon and Gen! The arrival of Jon's truly legendary percussing and Gen's versatile voice is more than welcome.

"Saturday Night Live" Parents' Weekend Concert
New members! New songs! And two groups for the price of one!
Harmonic Motion is working harder than ever before to put on a great show Saturday, October 26th, at 10 pm in Salomon 101. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll discover the meaning of life (this is not guaranteed, though highly probable) as our nine new members make their debut performance. We've even invited the UPenn Pennyloafers up from Pennsylvania to help us spice things up! Reserve your seat ahead of time, though, especially since the concert's more expensive at the door. Starting Tuesday the 22nd, get tickets from your friendly neighborhood HM member or in the Faunce post office.

Harmonic Motion has new members!
After 12 hours of auditions and two marathon callbacks, our group now boasts the best of the best from the freshman and sophmore classes! Seven of us came back to school this year, and now we've grown to sixteen. So hold on to your hats, folks, 'cause Harmonic Motion is gonna blow you away!

Harmonic Motion Says Goodbye
The 2001-2002 school year saw us enjoying old traditions (such as our Parents' Weekend Concert) and forging into new territory (like our first ever spring east coast tour). (Check out the Pictures!) This past May we said goodbye to four amazing seniors at our annual Commencement Concert. Best of luck, guys. Don't forget to call, email, and send large care packages. We can't wait to see you again.

Charity Concert
Harmonic Motion is proud to have helped to raise over $5000 for charities supported by the Somerville, MA Rotary Club by singing at their concert on February 22nd.

Higher is Here!
Our second CD, Higher, is officially released! It's 10 tracks of co-ed goodness that you know you need, from the rocking Everything You Want, to the power of St. Teresa, to the lilting Nightswimming. Buy your copy today!

"Harmonic Motion Tells All": CD Release Concert Huge Success
A big thank you to all the fans, parents, and groupies that came out to cheer us on and rock out for our CD Release Concert. It was a huge success with a great turnout--we had a fantastic time, and hope you did too. Special shout-outs to all the alumni of '00 that came back to make the concert and after-party extra special.

"Harmonic Motion Tells All": CD Release Concert
That's right kids, hold your breath no longer: this is the concert you've been waiting for. Our new CD is 10 tracks of all the co-ed a cappella goodness you know and love. We think it will blow you away. Come out to celebrate with us!

Tickets will be on sale in the P.O. later this week as well as from any of us. $3 with a Brown ID--cheaper than a Jo's wrap, and we're spicier. This Friday, April 27th, at 8 p.m. in Salomon 101.

New Members!
A big congrats to the newest members of Harmonic Motion for semester II, 2000-2001:

After winning first place as well as Best Vocal Percussion at the regional quarterfinals in Hartford, CT, we went to Northhampton, MA for the semifinals, but unfortunately didn't place. All was not lost, however, as our very own Lauren Hynek was awarded Best Soloist for her absolutely amazing performance on St. Teresa. Look for us again hopefully next year, this time with four years under our belt! For more info on the competition, check out the NCCA webpage

Take Harmonic Motion home with you every night. Our album is a tight 12 songs, spanning our two years as a group. Songs include our earliest material and fan favorites, such as Down Under, to our more recent songs, such as Shape of My Heart and Mambo Swing.
