2024 - 2025
2024-25 was a very eventful year for The Harmonics! We began the year with an incredibly competitive auditions season – a smaller than average auditions pool meant talent was in high demand across all groups. We were very lucky, therefore, to take our five talented newbies – Jessie, Katya, Zach, Andrew Caosun, and Alexis! It was also wonderful to add grad students back into our group, and have a group ranging from frosh to PhD students. We had a very successful year despite being the smallest the Harmonics has ever been! In the fall, we had our group retreat, a great Halloween party, and tons of fun hanging out and enjoying board games and Mario Party. In the winter, we had our annual photoshoot at Greer Skatepark (a bit of a throwback location).
We also began to investigate ways to make recording our music easier, faster, and less costly for the group, to get new music out sooner. We had our winter show “Rawrmonics XD” in March, and enjoyed an afterparty to celebrate! ‘
In the spring, one of our members went abroad, while Charlie from last year (who could not be in the group in the fall or winter due to scheduling conflicts) came back to pinch hit!
Throughout the year, we had many fun group hangouts like game nights, Field Day, visiting local restaurants together, hiking the dish, seeing other Stanford arts productions like Legally Blonde, Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Matilda (featuring Alexis!), “office hours” to workshop arrangements together, and our spring retreat. We finished the year with our spring show, “THE LAST SUPPER”. Although we were an unexpectedly small group this year, we took the opportunity to become very closely knit and build a great community. A huge part of our efforts this year went towards finishing the production of Event Horizon which, after a pandemic and 6 years of hard work, finally released in August 2025. This year we started and finished all of the things that it takes to do an album – editing, mixing, mastering, naming the album, getting album art, licensing issues, distribution, the whole nine yards; more time and money goes into production than the actual arranging, learning, and recording itself! We’re happy to have released it, and looking forward to our next recording project.
