The Knights reunion was a giant success. Thanks to all the former Knights who attended and made such a meaningful event possible. Thanks also to Dixon Bond '59, Chris Clark '98, and the Alumni Affairs Office for organizing the reunion. We, the current group, had an awesome time connecting with the old-timers. We learned a few things, including that Knights past were much, much funnier than we are. I'm a cow!

Even though this website hasn't been updated much lately, the Knights are still making some good music and have some great new members in freshmen Jacob Hilty, Tom Fry, and Kirke Anderson Elsass.
We're also pleased to announce the return of Tommy Adams, who rejoins the Knights this winter after a year on leave. Our end-of-term concert is tentatively scheduled for Friday, March 10 (the last day of classes) and will be shared with our friends, Exit 69.
