...Though just a sophomore, the Solana Beach, Calif. native has already made a name for himself. Nowhere was his big-time baseball charisma more prominent than in the 2005 NCAA Regional Tournament, which took place in Fullerton, just an hour away from where Vance grew up. While the Crimson suffered humbling defeats at the hands of nationally-ranked Cal State-Fullerton and Missouri, Vance filled up the box scores and his position in center field, seemingly unfazed by the crowds of 2,000-plus or CSF’s storied tradition. The Vance fan club gave an equally impressive performance...

It’s a shame, then, that the song to which the video is set is a disappointment. If this first single is the best they can muster, the new album, “Show Your Bones...
...Quarrel”) by Laurence H. S. Coderre ’07. Soprano Katie Alexandra Woolf, the assistant conductor of RCS, assumed the stage for the latter half of the recital, bringing the audience into the twentieth century with songs by Francis Poulenc and Dominick Argento. Exuding charisma and charm, she switched in and out of her many roles with graceful composure, one minute a glass bottle frustrated with its childless condition, the next a moon-struck dreamer. Staged to raise money for the Society’s spring tour to England, the concert attracted an audience with free tickets...
