Penn Six - No Audition A Ca****la

Hi everyone!

We are Penn Six, Penn’s first all-inclusive, no audition a ca****la. Last semester, we ~reformed~ our group to become an all-inclusive group that accepts anyone of all skill levels (and ages). No experience is required, other than a little bit of a heart for humor and a little bit of a love for singing.

So come meet us on January 15-16th at Williams Hall 214, 11 am — 11 pm, during open call! We would love to get to know you better and for you to join us as we embark on our second semester as the new and improved PennSix.

We will be having rehearsals Wednesdays 8:30-11 pm with our music director and Sundays 4:30-6:30 pm, where we will be incorporating the comedy part of our a ca****la.

Thank you everyone who came to PennSix auditions this weekend! We are excited to get to know you better and join us!

Was this bio over a month late?
Yes.
Was it worth the wait?
Debatable.

But that's generally the brand of Konstantinos, base singer by necessity (though technically a low-range baritone) and comedy writer out of pure spite against his mortal foes who won't admit that pure absurdity is actually a form of humor.

Outside of the rehearsal room, Konstantinos loves to do theater, write, talk about what he's writing, pursue two degrees, talk about his two degrees, complain about having too many things to do, and, finally, make progress in his plan to become an absolute menace to society (with varying levels of success).

Konstantinos is the oldest member of PennSix currently in the group, having witnessed the Great Fall, the Days of Sorrow, and the phoenix-like (the bird, not the city) Rebirth of the past year.

Bio over. Konstantinos out.

Hi everyone! This is Anushka, and she’s a freshman studying biology. She’s from New Jersey, and a fun fact about her is that she’s vegetarian. Some of her hobbies are singing, playing the piano, and running. Some of her favorite artists/bands are Hozier, Lord Huron, and Khalid, and soul is a genre of music that she’s been getting into lately!

Next up we have Maggie. Maggie is a freshman from Hong Kong studying bioengineering. Her favorite music genres are pretty diverse with genres such as western pop, kpop, cantopop and mandopop, as well as Bruno Mars. In her free time she likes to watch TV and chill, and of course, sing! A fun fact about her is that she can twist her tongue.

This is Maya. Maya is a freshman in the NETS program from the Philly suburbs. One fun fact about her is that she loves the Hamilton soundtrack a little too much! Her favorite music artists are Imagine Dragons and Chase Atlantic. Her hobbies include baking, watching old Disney movies and playing Tetris!

Aida is a senior studying Networked and Social Systems in the SEAS. Aida enjoys tennis and, despite her unfavorable views towards animals, she loves horseback riding and her two dogs. She notes that she hates slimy things but loves furry things, so if you’re a snail, slug, or frog, and want to be friends with Aida, you’re out of luck. Sorry bud. Aida is very careful in not spilling her favorite Dragonfruit Pink Drink all over her. Aida is also our group manager.

Meet Kevin! Kevin is a junior, studying PPE. He’s originally from San Francisco.
Fun fact: Kevin has a high tolerance to things like spices (even though he always chooses the mild option).
As per hobbies, Kevin likes playing guitar, chess, singing (of course!) and is passionate about learning new activities!
When asked what music genre he would be, he said “Indie” because of the weird vibes. Both Indie and Acoustic are also his favorite genres, and his favorite music artist is Jeremy Zucker. Kevin also likes making fast songs sound sad. Kevin is the solo for “Fix You” and his voice part is baritone.

Continuing our week of getting to know the members, we have MaryElizabeth. MaryElizabeth is our Alto PennSix staple member that is in a musical group... and barely listens to music. A senior studying Cognitive Science with minors in Consumer Psychology and Linguistics, she will be going into consulting on brand strategy. You can often see her doing social dancing or synchronized swimming when not doing acapella, and when she does listen to music it will almost always be Broadway. She finds herself to be “folky” (the quality seeming folk), and hopes she can eventually live out her life in the middle of nowhere, living on a farm of her own. Yee haw.

Meet Lila DiMasi!
Lila is a sophomore majoring in psychology with a minor in consumer psychology. She loves understanding things deeply, not taking things at face value and picking apart why things are the way they are. This profound passion for knowledge really works against her when she's taking timed math tests, but it's ok because "a little anxiety makes the world go round" she says.

Outside of classes, Lila is a part-time magician, taking pride in her ability to make magic happen. She reminisces on the days she used to play Minecraft with her cousins: telling stories of an afterlife by spawning sheep underground, tormenting her cousins with custom commands, and even turning the whole world into marble once (on accident, so she claims). But she also uses her unmatched technological prowess for good, single-handedly helping more than 50 members of her local community register for COVID vaccinations.

Lila loves to express herself through photography and other lens-based artistries. When she's not perpetually trapped in the photo studio, in her free time she enjoys procrastinating, calling it a "chronic illness" and "hey I didn't say that stop writing that down". She also enjoys making up new phrases—her latest linguistic concoction is "bonkers ridonkulous", and when I said that's not a word she called me bonkers ridonkulous.

In her busy savant life of magic, photography, and procrastinating, Lila finds the time to also be a social media influencer. You can catch her on her 500k+ follower Instagram account, whose handle she cannot disclose because of an NDA she signed.

We’re also launching a week of getting to know our members! First of, we have Joseph D**g. Joseph is a biochem and biophysics double major. Joseph describes his personality as introspective and forlorn… er wait.. that’s actually how he describes the soundtracks he’s composing for an upcoming mathematics video game. On the weekends, you can find him doing recreational coc— erm, coding — or on that premed grind.

Penn Six updated their info in the about section.

Apparently our page has been getting more traction lately that I've been posting random s**t every few months. It seems that social media engagement is not that hard after all.

Here.

See this post. Like it. Share it. Grow our fanbase.

Do my work for me, peasants.

Ok. You didn't hear this from me, BUT... Penn Six does not currently have a website. Now, this is not an announcement. It's a fact. I'm not saying that you should expect a dapper website in the near future. But I'm also not saying that you shouldn't. Toodaloo!

Open auditions are LIVE from now until September 10th!
