⚡ If You Only Do One Thing
The Yale Whiffenpoofs Live at Cheney Hall
Friday, Feb 27 at 7:00 PM
"A world-class performance from the oldest collegiate a cappella group in the country. It’s an indoor, high-culture event that avoids the outdoor chill while offering a unique experience you won't find every weekend."
PRO TIP: Arrive 30 minutes early to secure parking in the lot behind Cheney Hall, as the heavy snow banks have temporarily reduced available street spaces on Hartford Road.
