Artscapade (Sep. 2, 9:00 PM @ UMMA) is going to be sweet – it’s an awesome event dedicated to the arts at Michigan. The Lyres will be performing for the SECOND TIME of the DAY… It’ll be epic. Be there or be square.

From the Artscapade official site: “Arts at Michigan and the UM Museum of Art celebrate Welcome Week by introducing more than 3,000 incoming students to the wide array of possibilities for arts participation on campus at an evening of art-making, live music, dance and poetry, games, and prizes.”

Gayz Craze

Woo! The Lyres are performing again, this time at Gayz Craze (Sep. 6, 2:30PM @ Palmer Field), a huge FREE event celebrating the LGBT community of Michigan. The official explanation is after the jump – hopefully we’ll see you there!

Celebrate the last day of summer vacation with the LGBT Commission of the Michigan Student Assembly! Gayz Craze is one of the University’s largest Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Ally directed events. Aside from having a blast playing games, listening to our DJ, and eating free food, attendees can pick up a bunch of information from LGBTA friendly organizations on and near campus! Gayz Craze is also a great place to find new friends or meet up with old ones! This is a completely FREE event and everyone is welcome!

LSA Freshman Welcome

Come see the Lyres perform for the first time this academic year at the LSA’s official freshman welcome! (Sep. 2, 4:00 PM @ Hill Auditorium) Read about the event in detail after the jump… you’ll see us referred to as “[one] of campus’ favorite student groups.” Thank you, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. We’re honored to be your favorite.

The Lyres perform at New Student Convocation

Join other students, parents, and the Dean at this event welcoming you into the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA), U-M’s oldest and largest college. Whether you think your major will be “Perpetually Undecided” or you’ve known what you want to do since you were a 4-year-old, LSA is the place to make it happen. Learn what the next four years will hold: the LSA student government President will recount what he wished he’d known in his first year; hear from some alumni and top faculty, including the Dean of LSA; and be entertained by some of campus’ favorite student groups. And you’ll walk away with a free t-shirt. Space is limited!

New Website!

After about two months of work, it’s here and ready for the general public. We’re extremely excited for what this new site will allow – from the updated store to the media section – and we hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Other new features include an automatically updating “Upcoming Events” widget, visible on the sidebar, and an updated members page, complete with cool sliding transitions.

A special thanks goes out to:

John David Carson (Lyres ‘06) and Kasey Johns for help acquiring the “www.compulsivelyres.com” domain
Lauren Rink, for all her help with the repertoire page
Ryan DeLeon, for his Lyres history knowledge
Emily Byl, for her awesome auditions writeup
Emily Lyon, for graciously accepting her role as my personal advisor

We hope you enjoy the site!
