ALY BROOKLAND - 2006 - IAC Graduate - abrookland@gmail.com
"Aly Aly Ah" graduated from CAS with a B.A. in History. After having the realization that singing college a cappella would prove an unlikely career path, Aly moved to Philadelphia to attend Temple University Beasley School of Law. In her eight semesters with In Achord, her solos included "You Gotta Be," "Carwash," "Loud," "Song for Sparky," and "I Wish/Superstition," and she happily served as IAC President her senior year. She wants to thank everyone who made In Achord as special and unforgettable (yes, even with her atrocious memory problems) as it was (you know who you are), and she looks forward to being questioned at future reunions: "aren't you that girl who killed sparky?"

ED FIANS - 2000 - IAC Graduate - edjfians@hotmail.com

A drummer by trade, he took over as beat-box mastah when he joined IAC his sophomore year, leaving plumes of triumphant, frothy spit in his wake. Though known to be a fighter at heart, rabble-rouser, treasurer, and pro bono advocate of you-know-who, his better contributions remain his mighty drummin' tongue on all but three songs on 1.21, the blessed absence of his singing voice, his cartooned flyers, and "When All Is Said and Done." Currently, he's wearing red plaid boxers and a grin.
