[ ROARING 20 HISTORY ]

Roaring 20 was founded in 1983 as an all-male, jazz-centric group called “The Cat’s Meow”. Our repertoire has since evolved to include a wider range of genres, though jazz music still comprises a notable portion. Co-ed since 1985, the group is entirely student-run. Members run rehearsals, arrange music, plan tours, and produce albums. Our dynamic repertoire ranges from jazz classics to current top 40 hits: Gershwin, Gaga, and everything in between.
