Taking regular tours and road trips all over the East Coast (with occasional excursions to archipelagos in the early 80Central Pacific), the group is always eager to share their music.   's''The Story:''' Long ago in the humble Purple Valley, there was a shy but sincere man called Eph. And a lovable Eph he was. With a big top hat, shining brass balls, and an itch to make the world a better place. So he started a school called Williams, where many boys, and eventually girls, could frolic in the fields of lollipops and read books and coordinate massive financial mergers. We singIt was a lovely time for everyone. Oh the taps always flowed and the football team always won, but there was something missing. “Ah,” said one lad with flaming red hair, “it be music we dancebe lackin’!” Malcolm was his name, and he could read those mysterious black dots and lines that decode the enigma of sound. He gathered about him his most trusted pals, we chums, and ne’er-do other stuff too-wells. They practiced and hummed in their sleep for months. The “doos” and “bahs” bounced around in their skulls for what seemed an eternity. Finally, we're not really sure what that meanswith their voices honed to perfection, and great trepidation in their hearts, they gathered together in the auditorium to entertain. We go on tours What they lacked in tonality they compensated for in joviality! The people laughed and cried and gushed in their seats and roadtrips all over gave thunderous applause at the end, which they wished would never come. And it was good, baby. Malcom’s merry band, having taken the name “The Springstreeters” from the east coast largest – and into indeed the middle only – street in town, soon ventured forth out of the country too sometimesprotected Purple Valley. Auditions are held during They won the hearts of all of New England, and of several southern sororities as well. They graduated, of course, those first week or two brave few. But they inspired quite a following, and took many more into their ranks. From year to year the music is handed down to another exuberant youth who can read it, and the legend continues. The Streeters go forth, always to sing, stumble about, and find open arms and warm beds wherever they end up, always with the sacred chant of classes“Jell-O” to spur them to action, and always with their Greavis (sic) beverage at the ready. wsoOnward, O Streeters!
