Class of 2022
|
Violet Gautreau
Voice Part: Soprano
Hometown: Chappaqua, NY Major: English Violet is a senior hailing from the distant land of Westchester, New York. As a self-defined musical theatre geek, the KJs’ jazzy repertoire is oftentimes a welcome respite from endless Broadway scores. When she’s not singing with the KJs, she can be found sprinting to the theatre for a rehearsal that she’s late for, adding copious amounts of honey to her tea, and annoying freshmen while running events with Mathey College Council. |
Debby Park
Voice part: Alto
Hometown: Philadelphia, PA Major: Molecular Biology Debby is an alto who loves music in all genres and forms. She likes to balance out the jazzy KJ rep with playing classical music in PUO as a bassist (yes, it is a foot taller than her) and curating R&B/EDM playlists on Spotify. Outside of music, she is a passionate about Lunchables, Golden Retrievers, and learning about cells. |
Phoebe Park
Voice Part: Soprano
Hometown: Willow Grove, PA Major: Civil and Environmental Engineering Phoebe is one who strives to live an eccentrically normal life. Born and raised in a small suburban town, she aspires to travel the world and seek new adventures. When she is not blasting music walking through campus, she is most likely looking out into the water at the boathouse. |

Tara Shawa
Voice Part: Alto
Hometown: Princeton, NJ Major: Sociology Tara is a sociology major who can't stop taking COS classes. In addition to singing low notes for the KJs, she sings medium notes for the glee club and high notes around her friends who beg her to stop. When she isn’t singing, she enjoys procrastinating, making way too many TikTok references, and telling people that Forbes is the best residential college. She is very grateful to be part of such a talented group and always looks forward to making music with her favorite people! |
Bryant So
Voice Part: Bass
Hometown: Colorado Springs, CO Major: Music Bryant is a bass from Colorado Springs, CO. He aims to major in music while pursuing a premed track (he doesn’t know what he’s getting into). Besides singing, Bryant plays the violin – which is gathering dust somewhere beneath his bed – and also plays tennis pretty poorly. Bryant is incredibly excited to be joining the Katzenjammers as this is the first singing experience he’s ever had (besides singing in the shower)! If Bryant isn’t in his room, he can most likely be found eating…somewhere. |
Theo Trevisan
Voice Part: Bass
Hometown: Princeton, NJ Major: Music Hailing from far-away Princeton, Theo Trevisan is very excited to be part of an ensemble where he's close to average height. Theo also sings in Glee Club, Chamber Choir, and the Vocal Consort certificate, and he makes electronic music in the Princeton Laptop Orchestra. In addition to singing, Theo has been composing for many years, and his compositional influences include the Renaissance, Postmodernism, algorithms, fidget spinners, and household appliances. When he's not wasting his life with music, Theo enjoys speculating on the meme economy, playing Super Smash Bros, and drinking green tea. |
Class of 2023

Mary Elizabeth Adler
Voice Part: Soprano
Hometown: Seattle, WA Major: Chemical and Biological Engineering Mary Elizabeth Adler is a CBE junior from Seattle, Washington who doesn't appreciate the East Coast humidity. When not in rehearsal, she can be found wearing KJ gear, thinking about Chipotle, and working on psets that might be hopeless. If you see her on campus, tell her that she needs to stop cutting her hair because she has a problem. Sahil Suneja
Voice Part: Tenor
Hometown: Novi, Michigan Major: Operations Research and Financial Engineering Born in Boston but raised in Michigan, Sahil is a baritone-turned-tenor majoring in ORFE. Stemming from his success in cubing (He can solve a 3x3 in a 4/4 quarter note at 4 bpm!), Sahil has an interest in group theory, which also has its applications in music. His musical background is in classical music, and his favorite aria is “Deh vieni alla finestra…”. His secret ambition is to perform at least one successful serenade with this aria during his four years at Princeton. Other than singing, another vocal talent that Sahil cherishes is his Indian accent, which he uses to great comedic effect. When he’s not indulging in his accents or songs, Sahil plays online poker (without money), loses miserably in online chess games, and frequents Reddit, where one of his comments has exceeded 9000 upvotes. |
Halle Mitchell
Voice Part: Alto
Hometown: Bellefonte, Pennsylvania Major: Music Halle is a junior from central Pennsylvania with very little clue of what she wants to do with her life! She really enjoys singing, playing the piano, composing, and acting, and is a member of the Glee Club and Princeton University Players outside of the KJs. She is also a big consumer of food and yes, she will most likely eat what you don’t finish. She is so truly happy to be a part of such a fun, kind, and talented group and can’t wait to continue making beautiful music again. |
Katelyn Rodrigues
Voice Part: Soprano/Alto
Hometown: Austin, TX Major: Computer Science Katelyn's escape from the hustle and bustle of life has always been music. An avid singer and classical violinist, Katelyn enjoys performing operatic music and playing chamber music during the holiday season as well as in service to her community. When not procrastinating her school work, Katelyn enjoys running outside, challenging her friends to ping-pong tournaments, going on Chick-Fila-A runs, and drinking boba. In fact, she can almost always be found with a packet of fruit gummies; after sampling a wide variety, Katelyn believes that Motts is arguably the best. She is overjoyed to be a part of the KJs and can't wait to bless the #1 campus with incredible music! |
