The
Tech Talk's headline summarized it best: "Musical Masquerade
Tops the Charts." The Music Library's first-ever Musician Look-Alike
contest proved to be a rousing success and fun for everyone
involved. This IAP event was intended not only to locate look-alikes,
but also to enhance people's awareness of the Music Library
and its services.
The
event was hosted by the inimitable Captain
Hook (Ed Darna of Theater Arts) who kept the crowd in stitches
with his quick retorts and one-liners. The seven contestants were
judged by Lowell Lindgren and Pamela Ambush of the music faculty
along with David Ferriero of the Libraries. The four winners, who
each received a $25.00 gift certificate from either Newbury Comics
or the Harvard Coop, were as follows:
- William
Fregosi (Theater Arts) as Charles-Henri Alkan
- Robert
Hall (Libraries) as Sir Edward Elgar
- Michael
(Libraries) as Anonymous
- Megan
Hepler '98 as Madonna
Gift
certificates for ice cream cones from Toscanini's were awarded
to some splendid runners-up:

and enthusiastic audience crowded into the library to witness
this entertaining event. This year's judges included Jay Keyser
