Here's to you, our jovial friend.  The Fall concert 2005 featured song, dance, nerf warfare, two recorders played simultaneously, apocalyptic language, and the now-famous Kang hug.  Here are the YouTube links to the Spring 2008 end-of-year concert video, Planet Octet: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUCh547i5RA PART1] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dzp5UJhY0KM PART2] In February 2010, the Octet shared the stage with Motion City Soundtrack. The band saw the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBqllpwDw3w Octet's version] of "Fell In Love Without You" on YouTube and invited them to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdSf-BgIbA8 perform it at MCS' Irving Plaza, NYC concert]. Solo and arrangement both by Lucas Bruton '11. In the spring of 2010, the Octet sang a medley of Taylor Swift songs, which resulted in an invite to meet Ms. Swift herself backstage at her Madison Square Garden concert in late fall of 2011. Every member received a Taylor Swift hug, several Taylor Swift band guitar picks, and the group formed a fast friendship with Ms. Swift's parents. The Octet has a history of integrating skits into their concerts. Famous recent skits include "The Octet Adopts a Child" (spring 2009) and "The Octet Goes to Rehab" (spring 2010). Octet videos from fall 2009 to the present can be found [http://www.youtube.com/user/wcs1223#p/a here]. The same channel has a chronological playlist of all Octet videos dating back to 2001.
