Suggestions and Goals

MeshugaNotes is one of the most independent student groups at OSU Hillel. They will not need much from you as far as musical experience to guide them. However, you will be useful to them when you help coordinate festival performances and in-town concerts. They are a talented group of students and under the leadership of their director, Scott Stein, are mostly self-guided. Attend a rehearsal once a quarter, if not more, to get to know the group!

I think they were singing "Wild Thing"
