Kroks of the 1970s Reflection by Peter Lerangis ’77 (K’75–’77, MD ’77) For a public-school kid from Long Island in 1973, self-directed a cappella singing groups were unheard of. No one did it. And there was no mention of such a thing in orientation materials. To me, that first week in Cambridge was disorienting, a… Continue reading Kroks of the 70s

Vintage Kroks The Krokodiloes for me began as a disappointment.  I tried out and didn’t get in.  To make matters worse (or so it seemed at the time), my close friend and fellow Glee Clubber, Glen Howard ‘71, did!  Happily, my Krok experience improved from there.  Persevering, I did get in on the next tryout… Continue reading Vintage Kroks

Dinosaurs   The Kroks of 1982 were rock stars. That group had real swagger, backed by a bold sound, clever intros, and a murderer’s row of soloists. Auditions in the spring were packed with wannabes, both intimidated by the awesomeness of it all and desperate to be a part of it. From the scrum, eight… Continue reading Dinosaurs

Par Avion Remembers – Restarting the Krokodiloes’ Tour Tradition, 1981 The ’80-’81 Krokodiloes started discussing the idea of a European tour, thinking it would go in the summer of ’81.  It was the brainchild and ended up being a two-year passion project of Tour Manager Gordon Bloom.   In the end it did not go in… Continue reading Par Avion Remembers

It was a time of wonder, and a time of enchantment. A time for music, and a time for brotherhood. From Australia and Beijing to Salzburg, Sayn, and Sao Paolo, we united as brothers in song – taking to Sanders Theater, Bettle Chapel, and Carnegie Hall. At 12 Holyoke Street we arched up, standing in… Continue reading The Kroks of the 90’s

K14’s first performance in the fall of 2013 was a strange one. Just a few weeks after welcoming our newest members and with only a handful of songs under our belts, we were booked by Harvard’s Nieman Foundation for Journalism to perform at their 75th anniversary gala, in the atrium of the Museum of Fine… Continue reading The Krokodiloes of 2014

The K2010s was a special decade in the Krokodiloes’ storied existence. Each group from K10 to K19 strove to push the Kroks forward while ensuring to honor our legacy. We experienced historic reunions at home, honoring 70 years since our founding in 1946. Abroad, we celebrated decades of relationships with our friends in Germany, Japan,… Continue reading The Kroks of the 2010s
