Greg Buchak: tenor 2. Greg claims to find it very hard to describe himself. However, once he gets going, he finds that words flow out like rivers and bad metaphors when he remembers all the things he has a right to brag about. At the top of the list is his ability to write with his left hand yet throw a Frisbee with his right hand. He also kicks a ball with his right foot, but don't worry ladies: when it comes to lovin', he's ambidextrous.

Public response

Concordia has been received positively by most audiences, however these audiences appear to be willing to accept an exchange of musical ability for charm and a high group cha score (helped primarily by Sean). The group has been described in the following ways:

  • "[A]s the #1 groupie for Concordia, all I have to say to the world of music is, 'watch out!'"
  • " This article focuses on the concept of singular, monotheistic God. See deity, gods, or goddesses for details on divine entities in specific religions and mythologies.

  • "Concordia not only makes great music; they're hot too."
  • "You guys need an image change"
  • "This is your last song? Great."

What the future holds

Sticking to their strict code of modesty and humility, members of Concordia generally decline to comment on their illustrious future. While it is clear to all observers that numerous record deals and awards await, members of the group prefer to keep thier opinions oozing with less hubris. For example, Merritt "Wow! Science!" Jenkins once said "Concordia is fun and all, but it is nothing compared to Science! Wow!"
