Dublin and Galway, Ireland January 2013

This past Intercession break, the Tigressions had such a great time singing and touring in Dublin and Galway, Ireland. Between performing for local schools, busking in the streets, and singing in pubs, the TGs were also able to find time to sightsee! Some of our stops include the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, the Guinness Factory, and downtown Dublin. While we were there, we were also able to sing with the talented University of Dublin Choral Scholars as well as the Trinity College Trinitones!

Fall Jam 2012

Thank you so much for a great turnout at our Fall Jam in November! We were so excited to put on the show and try something new with our headset microphones. If you have any feedback as to how it went or if you have any photos or recordings, we would love to hear from you! (tigress@princeton.edu) We hope to get all the recordings and videos up on our website very soon!

A letter from the Graduate Board Co-Presidents: Ita Ekpoudom 03 and Akila Raman-Vaseghi 04
Happy Spring Tigressions! We hope this note finds you well. The Tigressions have not wasted a moment of the year, kicking off 2013 with an international tour that took the group to Ireland! Using their extensive networking skills and resourcefulness, the girls planned a successful tour which included everything from singing at Trinity College to busking in the streets of Dublin. Most importantly, they made memories that will last a lifetime. The trip abroad accomplished one of the goals of which weve spoken in the past to extend the Tigression brand beyond the arches of Blair and 1879. The group wisely leveraged this international presence in marketing materials for spring auditions. As a result, over 30 girls auditioned, which is a fantastic turnout for spring auditions. From a field of 30 they chose only one and we are delighted to welcome Haley into the Tigressions family! Spring means Reunions is just around the corner and we love that Tigressions alumnae have reached out to book the group for their events (the 10th and 93 TGs in particular) so there will be plenty of opportunity for those coming back to see them perform live. We encourage TG alums to reach out to their eating clubs and put in a plug to hire the group for Reunions related entertainment. Any and all leads are always welcome. Spring also signals the end of an era and a time for new beginnings for our senior Tigressions. We bid farewell to an exceptionally strong senior class who, during the time as Tigressions, have left a lasting mark that is evidenced in the quality of the new classes that have joined the group during their tenure. Katy, Audrey, Katie, Jen and Jamie, it has truly been a pleasure watching you grow as Tigressions. We wish you the very best and will be thrilled to welcome you to the ranks to Tigressions alumnae! Heres to a spring filled with beautiful music and we hope to see many of you back on campus in May. We will also look forward to the exciting endeavors the 2013-2014 school year will bring! Enjoy the spring and summer and we will speak with you again in the fall. Until then, be well and in touch! Ita and Akila
