Join us on Saturday, May 6th to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Cal Men's Octet at the International House in Berkeley!
The reunion will take place from 5-9pm and consists of a cocktail hour followed by a sit-down dinner, the Parade of Octets, and a presentation of the Octet Story - a multimedia history of the Men's Octet told through stories, pictures and videos.
As always, our reunion will culminate in a performance by the Actives and a joint performance of Cal songs by all alumni and active members!
