"Foxy"
Political Science/Urban Studies
Tenor 1
Class of 2012
|
Whether Austin is simply listening to someone who is speaking or whether he is accusing other Derbies of stealing his Snuggey, his eyebrows are always vigilant and wild. Austin comes from Amish country and is a connoisseur in all that is KFC-Taco Bell. |
 |
"Busty"
Everything
Tenor 2
Class of 2013
|
Hailing from SomethingSomething, CT, Justin Klee is actually his twin brother 50% of the time, he just doesn't tell you. Though to be honest, we prefer his twin's company (even though we've never met him). Justin's ego is too big. Its too wide. Its too strong. It won't fit. Justin knows every restaurant in CT and he WILL tell you about them. |

"Bowling"
Judaic Studies
Bass
Class of 2013
|
Lex (no relation to Superman's nemesis) comes from the exotic land of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where boys become men and dreams become reality. If Lex could be any vegetable, he'd be celery because he has very little nutritional value and combines well with peanut butter. |

"Baby Bear"
Electronic Music
Tenor 2
Class of 2013
|
Sam Phelps comes from the boonies of Vermont. When he's not being outdoorsy he likes to do backflips and wave his hands back and forth while snapping. Despite looking like someone who you think will be a good dancer, he's surprisingly awkward in some of his body movements. |

"Salirathavibhaga"
Engineering
Baritone
Class of 2014
|
Late at night you might hear choruses of college students shouting "RA-GHA-VA! RA-GHA-VA!" because Raghava is basically a legend. Hailing from somewhere in Indiana, Raghava parties with Jay-Z, goes to class with body art, and serves as the late-night director and all-powerful authority of the Derbies. |
 |
"Gay-mose"
Kindness
Bass
Class of 2014
|
Nate is ancestor of the Derbies reincarnated. With 1 tablespoon of booming voice that transcends all, a pinch of sass, a dash of charm, and some chunks of game, Nate is basically rotisserie amazingness with a side of grilled kindness. Clearly, Nate also makes us all hungry. |
 |
"Clam"
Engineering?
Baritone
Class of 2014
|
Clarence was born in Australia but hails from China. His Aussie accent is to die for. If you Google Clarence Lam you'll find that he's running for Central Committee of Howard County and quite frankly, we're disappointed that he hasn't included the Derbies in his campaign. Clam can also be found plagiarizing artwork to make skateboard designs. |
 |
"Meow"
Sixth Century Ballet and Baking
Bass
Class of 2014
|
While we're not yet sure if Adam is a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare (or a nuaghty girl), Adam Katz gets us bodied. He also might be in love with his radio because it never lets him down. AK-47 is from NY, attends his Classics course regularly, and can have Beyonce lyrics removed from his bio if he puts Beyonce on his ipod. |
 |
"Word Vomit"
History (or something)
T1
Class of 2014
|
Josh Cornelius Linden VIII knew from birth that he wanted to be a Brown Derby. After a semester of navigating the social labyrinth of Brown's intergalactic acapella community, tirelessly campaigning, and overtly "buttering" us up, we ignored it all and took him in for his vocal merit alone. Josh's falsetto is toxic as is his crumping. |
 |
"Pumpkin Muffin"
Mathematics
Bass
Class of 2014
|
Timmy Tim Tim breaks the norms of your stereotypical "math person" by knowing the lyrics to a surprising number of hip-hop songs, maintaining an impressively long wall-sit, and generally WERKIN IT. Continuing the Garza-Budde legacy of incredible archivists, Tim will also go down in Derby history for his versatile, but resonant, BASS BOOST [swoon]. |
 |
"Denzel"
Architectural Studies
Baritone
Class of 2015
|
Often spotted biking around campus whilst humming show-tunes, Jamie is a man who has his game locked tight. Admittedly Jamie might not be the best dancer of our generation, but a case certainly could be made that he is not the worst. Either way, the Derbies love Jamie, and Jamie loves slam-dunking on unsuspecting passers by. "You should have been ready" Jamie typically says, still hanging from the rim. |
 |
"Lubey"
Neuroscience
Tenor 2/Bari
Class of 2015
|
Noah Lubin lives his life by one rule: if you can beat him in a mile-long race, he'll buy you a hamster. Think that means you're getting an easy hamster? Wrong. Lubey ran a sub-5 minute mile in high school, which he has since trimmed down to a fiendish 11 seconds. Hamsters aside, Lubey is a beat-boxing, soul-singing Miami native with a mastery of salsa dancing that would shame any middle-aged yacht club member. |

"Eden"
Undecided
Tenor
Class of 2015
|
Derby fans, lend me your ears. To Christian, or not to Christian? That is the question. I suppose we could compare him to a summer's day, but he is more lovely and more temperate. On the other hand, he sometimes looks like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under't. Christian hails from the one and only Long Island, and can be found performing in Shakespeare on the green wherever there is Shakespeare, or green. |
 |
"Young Drewdles"
Football
Bass
Class of 2015
|
Don't let Drew's stature fool you -- he is actually a sweetheart. Known primarily amongst Derbies for his habitual rescuing of stray kittens and obsession with all things diva, Young Drewdles is a West Des Moines native with a voice that could make any corn husk say "meow". Just whatever you do, don't call him Andrew. |
 |
"Tinkerbell"
Defense Against the Dark Arts
Tenor 1
Class of 2014
|
Making a strong run for best-dressed Derby of his generation, Matt knows how to work it. Werk it Matt. Matt hails from outside New York, which we later found out meant New Jersey. Tough break Tinkerbell. Lucky for Matt, he is a smooth talking gentlemen with a sultry tenor who is admirably (and tragically) committed to the preservation of the condition of his Derby. |

"Chuckles"
Environmental Studies
Tenor
Class of 2015
|
From the day he was born, Jeff Baum dreamed of one day singing comically short tenor harmony parts for the Derbies. Needless to say, this dream and more has come true. During the ten to twelve minutes of the day when Chuckles is not chuckling, he can be found doing some sort of tribal dance that enables him to hit those knee-buckling high notes. Is that crazy arm-flapping dance weird? Yup. |
 |
"Big Bird"
Undecided
Tenor 2 / Baritone
Class of 2015
|
Continuing a long tradition of Derbies with excellent fake British accents, Campbell knows how to get his crumpet on. Campbell loves classic rock, insects (esp wasps!), sculptures of sesame street characters, and all things Minnesota. Campbell is committed to never being seen without some sort of head wear and his ferocious dancing is outlawed in every state except Hawaii. |
