It's been a little over a month since our last update, but boy this is a big one.

We have for you:

- a revamped menu bar. Kudos points if you can find Little Dan and Big Dan.

- new photos in the random section

- a new videos page

- updated list of gigs

What can H do for you? Entertain for one.

Our Senior Show and Cafe dates have been set. Please check our gigs page for details

Until next time.

Date: 26th Feb '08

Turns out our resident webmaster is really bored and has taken the time to begin setting up a page for the Heightsmen on wikipedia. Check it out here. He'd really appreciate any help with regards to the exact story on the origin of the Heightsmen and any random additions to the page, so please buzz him an email or contribute yourself!

We've uploaded some new photos to the website under the randoms section. We'll also be uploading a few videos of our serenades to youtube once they are in.

With that said, Spring Break is on the horizon and the Heightsmen are busy preparing for their show at Brattleboro, VT, this coming weekend. Keep an eye out for photo updates in the upcoming week, and good luck to all with their midterms.

Date: 24th Feb '08

A big thank you to those who tried out for the Heightsmen over the last week. We saw a great amount of talent and potential during our auditions and callbacks.

After hours upon hours of deliberation, however, we have decided to remain with our existing group. We feel that it would be most beneficial for the Heightsmen to pursue it's goals for the semester with our current makeup. We would like to thank all those who tried out for the group and would like to extend an invitation to them to try out again next semester.

With that said, Spring Break is on the horizon and the Heightsmen are busy preparing for their show at Brattleboro, VT, this coming weekend. Keep an eye out for photo updates in the upcoming week, and good luck to all with their midterms.

Date: 5th Feb '08

Speaking of the 14th, Valentines is coming up and we'll once again be serenading around campus. The details are as follows:

We apologize for the lack of updates this semester - our resident web-master was having some issues working with the new web-development software. But we have the site updated and ready for action.

Just a few updates:

- Our gigs list has been updated. We're doing a short show on this Sunday for the Newton Country Day School, a gig during BC's Arts Fest and a few other shows (more to come). We'll keep updating the listings as we move through the semester

- We've also updated our repertoire for the semester. The Heightsmen have chosen 3 new songs this semester (and a possible 4th if we have time). They are as follows:

Boyz II Men - Thank You

Beatles - Abbey Road Medley

Top Loader - Dancing in the Moonlight

We'll be working hard on these songs and will hopefully have them out before the end of the semester. In the meanwhile, have a happy Super Bowl Sunday.

Date: 16th Jan '08

As we return from winter break, there's only one thing on the agenda.

So it turns out that we have one very last gig this semester, though it is for a private party. We'll be warming up our voices for the 18th next week for our very last show of the calendar year.

We would also like to take this opportunity to wish Kevin Wang the best in all his endeavors. We'll miss your 'dao dao's and 'daom daom's next semester. Keep it real, Major Domo. Also, John Philips '09 will be going abroad to Ecuador next semester and we're sure he'll have a blast there. Maybe he'll learn how to sing in Espanol while he is there - adelantado Eileen...

And to everyone else, good luck with finals and have a great break. Stay warm.

Date: 6th Dec '07

Another semester, another Cafe, another amazing night. Thanks to all of our friends, family and fans, our fall Cafe was a great success.

The Heightsmen would like to thank our family and friends for all their support in helping the group navigate through a hectic schedule this year.

Winter is almost upon us, and that means two things:

- Walking from the quad to McGuinn for class will soon get really dangerous

SHeightsmen takes place this coming Saturday, November 10th, in Devlin 008 at 6.30pm. Don't miss the show where the all-male and the all-female groups come together for 2 hours of the best A Cappella on campus! We will be singing songs from both our repertoires, as well as a few extras, just for you. See you Saturday before the Maryland game!

Date: 22nd Oct '07

When it's Sunday afternoon and you realize you've still lost your voice, you know you've had a good show. Thank you to all those who showed up at the show to support us in spite of all the events going on - Red Sox anyone? Also, kudos to our dedicated alumni for making time for us. We had a blast singing on stage with you all.

As the weather begins to get colder, the Heightsmen are beginning to turn on the heat. With two new songs under our belt, we are looking to learn another two more (check our repertoire page for more info). Also, we have two more big shows on campus this year - SHeightsmen and Fall Cafe. Keep an eye on our gigs page for more gigs during the semester.

Good luck with midterms

Date: 11th Sep '07

First, a big thank you to all those who attended A Cappella fest to support us. It was our freshmen's first big show of their time with us and it was an absolute blast.

As we move past the first month of school, we begin to look towards our events this semester. While the dates have yet to be finalized for some of our gigs, we'll be hosting 3 major events on campus this year:

-Alumni Show - moved forward from second semester for the first time)

-SHeightsmen - co-hosting a performance with the Sharps!

-Fall Cafe - THE A Cappella show of the year, in our humble opinion.

Further, we'll also be looking to start recording this semester as this year is recording year. In order to do so, we will need funding. Our last hit album Major Domo Sings the Hits is still on sale right now, so do us a favour and give us a buzz to order one now!

Upcoming shows:

- Alumni Show: Oct 20th. Come and join us as we welcome back our alumni

Date: 11th Sep '07

Brilliant weather, the smell of fresh furniture and the sound of pickups driving around campus means only one thing -the start of a new semester.

Another cafe and the end of another year. This semester flew by really quickly with gigs here and there. Thank you to all of our fans for being so supportive - you helped make this a very memorable and successful year for the group.

But the year isn't quite over yet - not for us anyway. The Heightsmen are staying around for senior week for their last two gigs before people head off in different directions:

 - First we have a small gig over at the Newton Country Club on the 18th for a private alumni party.

 - Last but not least, the Heightsmen sing farewell to their graduating senior and president, Dara Beirne '07 on the 20th in O'Neil Plaza around noon.

Check us out if you're still on campus or around the area!

Officer selections have also been made for next semester. Officers are as follows:

 - President - Peter Heyer

 - Business Manager - Mike Killian

 - Co-Music Directors - Kevin Wang (1st semester), Jim Luo (2nd semester)

 - Treasurer - Jason Ng

 - Social Director - Tim Dolan

Updates to the group page will be made after the show on the 20th.

Thank you again to everyone for being there for us - roommates, friends, girlfriends, family, fans, and of course Father Leahy. We'll see you next semester!

P.S. We are still looking for photos of the Cafe. Keep an eye out for more photos in the future, and if you have any, please send them over to keldjura@gmail.com

Date: 17th April '07

After a trip to Montreal where we sang in malls and restaurants for puzzled and surprised French Canadians (who were also dazzled by our charming good looks, of course), the Heightsmen are beginning to prepare for the last few shows of the semester.

Coming up first is our gig at the ArtsFest in O'Neil Plaza on Thursday, 26th April, at 2.45pm. We'll be busting out a few songs with the Acoustics, so catch us there!

More importantly, our Senior show/Spring Cafe is set for May 2nd, the last day of school, in Devlin 008. The time is still TBA, but we should begin around 7.30pm roughly. Don't forget to mark it on your calendars - it'll be your last time to catch our Seniors (Dara Beirne and Kevin Wang) before they sing as graduates during Senior Week.

In other news, we have uploaded some photos from the Montreal trip. We have also auditioned our last solo of the year. Congratulations to Jim Luo '09 for getting the solo for Gone, by N Sync.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those at Virginia Tech. We were all shocked to hear about the shootings, we are truly sorry that the tragic events happened. Hang in there, VTech.

-Update-

- So turns out our resident web geek doesn't know how to count. The gig's page has been fixed - our cafe will be in Devlin 008 the day BEFORE classes end. We'll also be singing at the Newton Country Club on the 18th of May.

- Dara's also submitted the last newsletter of the semester (or at least, that's what we're assuming), so take a look!

Date: 20th March '07

Well rested from Spring Break and St. Patrick's Day weekend, the Heightsmen are ready to take on the remainder of the semester. As of now, we have a few gigs ahead of us:

Dance Marathon - Sat March 24

A Cappella Beanpot - Sat March 31st

Arts Fest - Thurs March 26

Senior Show/Cafe - TBA

The Beanpot is definitely a highlight for the semester, as one group from every Beanpot school will duke it out on March 31st, and the Heightsmen are ready to take the title. Come on down to support us at our shows and get some of the best entertainment on and off campus. Speaking of supporting, our sister group - the Sharps - are having their Alumni Show this coming Saturday at Cushing 001, 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm so check that out too.

The website is again still being fixed and updated. The Alumni page has now been put up, as have photos from our Vermont trip, where we met guys from RockAppella, Jabberwocks of Brown, Smiffenpoofs of Smith and other groups perform. Have a look!

Date: 2nd March '07

With the beautiful weather here in Boston right now, the Heightsmen are packed and ready to leave for Spring Break. Though most people are headed to the warm, sunny beaches of Cancun, the Heightsmen are headed to Vermont for the weekend for a gig at Brattleboro, Jenzer '10s hometown. This is gonna get messy. Check back for photos and such when they're available.

In other news the repertoire page has been updated again. Congratulations to Mike Killian and Jim Luo for getting solo/duet parts to Sugar Ray's - Every Morning. We'll be learning the song in the upcoming weeks, so look to hear this sweet tune from us soon.

The website is now roughly 80% updated. Please send Jason an email at ngjg@bc.edu if you find anything wrong. He gets lonely sometimes.

Date: 18th February '07

In other news, we have updated the gigs page - congratulations to John Kane for getting the solo to In the Still of the Night by Boyz II Men. We are also looking to put up photos from Alumni show and Valentines serenades. If you have any, please send them over to Jason at ngjg@bc.edu .

Looks like we'll be singing in a few different places from now until the end of semester, so keep an eye out for updates on the gigs list.

Date: 25th January '07

Coming on Saturday, February 3rd  the Heightsmen will be hosting their 16th Alumni Show. With 17 years of great music and entertainment, you would want to be there! Come to Gasson 100 at 7pm to see old classics from past records such as Symposium, Wild Pitch! and Who's Making Sauce? and other songs that were never recorded. We'll see you there!

Though these songs won't make it to the alumni show, we have finalized our new repertoire for the semester. Our three new additions are:

Boyz II Men - In the Still of the Nights

N Sync - Gone

Sugar Ray - Every Morning

Check out our repertoire page to see the whole repertoire in all its glory.

And last but certainly not least, see the Heightsmen sing the national anthem at the Hartford v. BC game on Wednesday in Conte Forum before tip-off at 7pm. So come early to the game to support us - nothing beats thousands of Superfans screaming for you as you stand center-stage. We know who we're rooting for, do you?

Date: 25th January '07

Again, a big thank you to all those who came for callbacks. There was a lot of talent and we spent quite a while deliberating on the future of the group, concerning taking on new members. But without further ado, we would like to welcome our new member: Barrett Principe.

Congratulations. We are excited to take on a new member, as it will obviously further the group in both musical fields and otherwise. We would also like to thank all those who tried out and encourage them to try out again next semester. We are always looking for great, new talent.

Photos will be up and the group page will be updated ASAP.

In other news, coming up next Saturday, on February 3rd, we will be having our 16th Alumni show! Ever wanted to see old men sing? Well, come over to Gasson 100 at 7pm on February 3rd to see not just the current group, but 17 years worth of the best entertainment on campus. This really isn't something you want to miss!

Don't miss out on the new CD - Major Domo Sings the Hits! For samples, check out the recordings page!

Auditions are finally over. Thanks to everyone who tried out. We had what was probably the biggest turnout so far and the talent that was presented to us in the last several days made our final selections really difficult.

Welcome to our new members:

Thank you to those who didn't get in as well - you obviously had a lot of talent and potential. If you are seriously interested in joining the group, remember that there are auditions in the spring so please drop by then.

A big congratulations to our new brothers.

President Dara Beirne has posted the new newsletter for the school year. Check out the 'Newsletter' button above.

As you can tell, we're working on a new look for the website right now. Over the next few days, we'll be trying a new layout and all that jazz, so a few links here and there might not be working. If you have any suggestions or if certain things aren't working, please send our new web-dude Jason a quick email at ngjg@bc.edu
