Congratulations to our new President for the 2009-2010 school year: Nitish Aitharaju

Nitish was one of the original 7 members of Deewane and has been a fixture of our performances as the primary Vocal Percussionist over the last two years. He has some big plans for Deewane next year and we wish him the best of luck. Joining him on the Executive Board 09-10 will be Jay Kapoor as Music Director and Ajay Nair as Business Manager.

We are very excited as Deewane takes the next step to becoming a solid performance group in the upcoming year. On that note, be sure to check us out at the Almost Midnight A Cappella show on Tuesday May 5th. Location TBA!

Hey everyone,

We would like to thank all of you for coming out to our concerts for the last few weekends. Our first Spring tour was a huge success and we would like to thank JHU Kranti, UMBC Taal-Capella, and UMD Anokha for making it so.

Our final performance will be Tuesday, May 5th in McConomy as part of the semi-annual “Almost Midnight A Capella show” — tell all of your friends to be there. But if you can’t wait til then — videos from our performances this year are now up on YouTube. Check them out and leave us comments!!

Thats all for now
