1992 - 1993
The '92-'93 school year saw the Harmonics expand from the Octet format they had the year before. Joining returning members Bob, Brian, Jody, Miranda, and Renee were two new sopranos, Ryan H and Joanna S, three altos, Amy W, Audrey L, and Jeanie K, a new high tenor, Brian W, and two new Basses, Frank T and Marcus J. For part of the year, Blake S also sang bass. Bob was the musical director for the first two years of the group.
The Harmonics of this year started to concentrate more on campus shows including dorm shows, and starting the process of joining the Stanford A Cappella Nation. Harmonics sang in their first on-campus charity show, the Rape Awareness concert, their first Cal/Stanford Big Sing, which featured the performance of a parody of Longest Time (to great appreciation of the audience), and they held the first Spring Show extravaganza in Toyon Lounge. This year's Harmonics concentrated less on jazz standards, and more on the pop covers that were to become the foundation of the Harmonics sound. In particular, Walking on Broken Glass and Seven Bridges Road were featured in the concert sets of that year.
In fact, the year was so successful that twelve of thirteen members decided to remain in the group, only Brian not returning, as he was heading overseas to Stanford-in-Oxford. This was also the first passing of the pitchpipe, as Bob decided he no longer wanted to direct the group (though he would remain as an anchor in the bass section for several more years). He handed leadership of the group to Jody.
