Bio: Only one year ago Steph gave the Penns the grace of her sweet voice and obvious attitude. She's a sophomore in DUS and can't wait to spend years of her life in gen ed's trying to sort out the rest of her life. She dilly dallies her days in the Concert Choir and Chamber Singers (since she just can't get enough of the music building). Steph also loves to express her near-post-teen angst through individual interpretive dances. Steph has also recently took up shop rocking out on the harmony with the one and only Travis Mount on the Penns version of "Insomniac."

Bio: Emily Drake is a senior in the Schreyer's Honors College entitling her to a license to criticize most of the boys at any grammatical wrong turn. For our sakes she doesn't use her au-thar-ih-ty nearly that often, but she's definitely capable of keeping the group on their toes. And if a Michael Scottism situation may so happen to arise (ala "Thats what she said") she's going to be the first to whip it out. So be ready.

Bio: Laura is excited to spend her last year at Penn State with her obnoxious, beloved Pennharmonics family. It’s been quite an adventure and she has learned a lot, but still cannot explain what her major is. Outside of the Penns, Laura sings many different types of music and is a certified yoga instructor, desperately trying to understand how to survive in the world of freelancing. Her ambition is restless so Icarus better watch his back. Namaste!

(hopes) When he isn't studying, singing, hanging with the Penns or just messing around with some sort of technology, he is either working or just doing plain old nothing. He is excited for this very year and the years to come with his wonderful Pennharmonics family.

Bio: Meghan is currently a freshman here at Penn State, and her major is psychology. Before Meghan was lucky enough to be accepted into the Pennharmonics, the only venue she had sung in (besides her middle school chorus room) was the interior of her car. One of the best decisions she has ever made was deciding to book it to the audition a half hour before the auditions closed on the last day. She loves being happy, so make eye contact with her, and you're sure to get a smile.

He is a change of campus student from Penn State Altoona and has been hanging with the Penns since his junior year of high school. Cory would like to thank his older brother Jim (member from fall '05 - spring '09) for showing him what the Penns and collegiate A Capella is all about. Whether he's blast'in his pec's in the gym or crackin some funny's with his buds, he loves to have a great time. Oh ya, he loves his Sixburgh Steelers!!! (and those oh so awesome Penguins).
