Hullabahoos - History

History

The group was founded December 8, 1987 when a couple of friends at the University of Virginia got together and said, "Hey, let's sing other people's songs without instruments, and wear robes while we do it". So they did. And they still do. The group's history has taken them all around the globe and allowed them to record multiple studio albums in what they refer to as Hullabasound (as stated on their album inserts).

The Hullabahoos are typically 13 to 17 members (although this figure varies from year to year), and auditions for newcomers are held every fall and occasionally in the spring.

The current Hullabahoos logo was first drawn in Fall 2003 by Morgan Anderson, a student at Williams College, in promotion of the Hullabahoos' visit to her school. The poster was later scanned into a computer and emailed from a girlfriend in Massachusetts to her boyfriend in Virginia, and it slowly crept its way onto more and more Hullabahoos paraphernalia, gradually overtaking the traditional but less distinctive Uppercase H logo.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
