Andy hails from the left coast, growing up in the 'burbs of Portland, Oregon (Ory-gun). When he's not circling the wagons and fjording rivers, Andy can be found shooting massive amounts of bison, carrying never more than 99lbs back to camp. Andy is somewhat crunchy, as all people from the left coast tend to be, and hopes to combine his trendy environmentalism with his passion for bureaucracy to help stop Al Gore's "carbon" from destroying places we've never heard of (Bangla-what?!). Andy is also a member of the Glee Club and the Dartmouth Ski Patrol.
Cody Ruegger '10
Voice Part: Tenor
Hometown: Calabasas, CA
Major: Music
A music major with emphasis in composition, Cody Ruegger plans to pursue film scoring after his graduation. With his dedication to creating music, it should come as no surprise that he's one of the group's arrangers. He is also a fan of football fans everywhere, but not a fan of football itself. Furthermore, he has an inexplicable thing for women in business attire. Visit www.myspace.com/codyruegger to check out his work!

Hometown: Fredericksburg, VA
Major: Music
Officer Positions: Music Director, Spring '08 - Winter '09, Fall '09 - Winter '10
Emma Alexander or Emmalouface is the co-founder of the Sings (oh yeah bebeh) and is tired of being with Mr. Wrong. She's into long walks on the beach, poetry, and bubble baths... no, but in all seriousness she likes singing opera, flipping her hair like she's in a Pantene Pro V commercial, and making immature potty jokes with Jess Mesa (Jess Face-a). Around Dartmouth College she can be seen working at Paddock Music Library, wasting hours at FoCo talking to friends as they come and go, and celebrating winning at pong with Jess by smashing beer cans between her breasts. She'd like to send a shout out to her life partner Amber, her best friend Alison, and Jeebus for being such a good bass.

Voice Part: Soprano
Hometown: Melbourne, FL
Major: Biology
Minor: Women and Gender Studies
Officer Positions: Music Director, Winter '09 - Spring '09
Zieanna is a '10 best known for "the tick story," in which she demonstrated her incredible loyalty to a friend who had a tick in the most unfortunate place. When she's not telling that story (again) she dapples in cooking and patching/repairing friends' clothing. She's also a Sexpert, and absolutely loves making music with those crazy kids known as the Sings.

Officer Positions: Social Chair, Fall '08 - Winter '10
Anne enjoys having fun. She loves children, and her best summer ever was when she worked as a camp counselor. She was born on Friday the 13th which is also her dad's birthday. She has always wanted a boy to write a song about her, but not tell her it was about her, and DEFINITELY not perform it for her because that would be really awkward. In addition to the Sings, Anne is a sister at Sigma Delta sorority. She loves hiking, trees, baking cookies, and people.

Brandon Floch's other half (his twin brother) goes to Wheaton College in MA. He also has a younger brother and sister who are also twins! Two sets of twins, damn. Due to his double major, Brandon spends a large part of his time at Dartmouth reading. His favorite books include The Fountainhead and The Bhagavad Gita. When not doing school, he enjoys lifting weights, hanging out at SAE (where he is a brother), and tutoring. His current goal is to have dinner with Abraham Lincoln, Ghandi, and Obama. He's invited all three of them; none have RSVP'd yet though.
Emily Kyker-Snowman '11
Voice Part: Alto
Hometown: Amherst, MA
Major: Engineering and Ecology
Emily is a lumberjill, and she's ok. When she's not running a chainsaw, she likes to sew, cook, and have buttered scones with tea. She also loves taking things apart, watching flowers bloom, meandering aimlessly, climbing, listening to life stories, and firing potato cannons. She dreams of owning a motorcycle, but sadly, her father wants her to live to 25.
Jess Mesa '11
Voice Part: Alto
Hometown: Lordsburg, NM
Major: Music
Minor: Education
Jess Mesa, or Jess Face-a, as she likes to be called, is from New Mexico but she is an old Mexican. Old and grizzled. She eats ranch-covered shoes and she scares off men with her evil insane laughter. Interestingly, she uses perfume instead of bathing, and her hobbies include being a potty mouth and grabbing Emma's butt. She hopes to someday be a band teacher, while retaining her current position as a London drug dealer.
John Roland '11
Voice Part: Bass & Beatbox
Hometown: Chatham, NJ
Major: Physics and Math
Officer Positions: Business Manager, Winter '08 - Winter '10
John began his life as a corn farmer in Illinois, but when he heard tales of the big city, he knew where he truly belonged. Unfortunately, his parents then decided to move to suburban New Jersey, so his dream was pretty much shot to hell. Anyways, John is a physicist/singer/bass enthusiast who thoroughly appreciates a wide variety of music and is slowly losing the ability to read, write and speak. When he is not singing, he can be found chewing Big League Chew and watching Pete and Pete reruns. Since coming to Dartmouth, he has developed a love for canned peaches but still can't stand when people call him Joro.
Paloma Ellis '11
Voice Part: Alto
Hometown: Washington, DC
Major: Geography
Minor: Studio Art
Paloma (Lo) is into a whole bunch of things which she can't always remember. Among them are working out, doing crossword puzzles, being quixotic, frolicking, and dancing to loud music. At the time which you meet her, she may or may not be wearing underwear. She's trying to become fluent in French and Arabic in addition to her native Spanish and English, but mostly she just confuses herself and uses all four languages interchangeably in conversation. In short, she's kind of a spaz, but a spaz with awesome hair. She is also a sister at Sigma Delta sorority.
Amber Dewey '12
Voice Part: Soprano
Hometown: Amarillo, TX
Major: Undecided
Amber's first love is caffeine. Her second is grammar. The people in her life will just have to accept that. She also loves rainstorms, live orchestras, online surveys, musicals, things that are arranged by colour, and random conversations. She is known for enabling her friends' procrastination habits. Her favourite colour is green, and she still gets really excited when things she gets from the school are green...even though it's the school colour. She speaks German decently and when she was in middle school, she taught herself some Dutch, most of which she still remembers. She is currently taking Russian and would like to learn more languages. If you ever have something you should be doing and don't want to do, call Amber--she will chat with you against her better judgement.
Aryeh Drager '12
Voice Part: Tenor
Hometown: West Hartford, CT
Major: Something science-y
Aryeh enjoys playing minesweeper. He loves pizza and his best summer was when he took summer school US history with a teacher obsessed with buffalo, a student teacher who loved graphic organizers, and a class full of athletes and apathetes. Aryeh was born on Thursday the 12th, and his mother was born on Saturday the 14th, each narrowly escaping the cloud of misfortune that would have plagued them had they been born one day earlier and later, respectively. Apart from his involvement with The Sing Dynasty, Aryeh sings with the Dartmouth Glee Club and draws for The D.
