Forced to compete with myriad St. Patrick's Day festivities, BC bOp! held its own with "Major League bOp!" The only jazz ensemble on campus features an extensive variety of vocal and instrumental talent.

In an effort to swing for the fences, BC bOp! hosted "Major League bOp!" Saturday evening in the Robsham Theater. The vocalists and musicians left the performance enhancers at home and took the stage with all-natural energy and skill.

Audience members entered the show with excitement and anticipation, wondering, "Who's on first?" Their question was quickly answered as the band took the stage and performed the instrumental "Bill Bailey," which contained engaging piano and saxophone solos.

The evening continued with other great performances during "A Day in the Life of a Fool" and "Sing, Sing, Sing." Another highlight was the vocal solo by Kara Campanelli in the classic "Black Coffee."

Throughout the show, BC bOp! delivered tremendous vocal talent, phenomenal instrumental execution, and even a few jokes. The show was recorded, so fans can listen to the highlights over and over, as CDs are $15 and DVDs are $20.
