He loves dreaming up wacky scenes with the Creative Team and bringing theatricality to Pops!

Ticket Manager
Sam Vitale Sam is a junior in Currier House concentrating in Neuroscience. She plays the viola because in third grade she made the decision that the violin sounds "too painful" and is sticking to her gut. When Sam's not playing her instrument she is spending a copious amount of time in Currier dhall, listening to a ridiculous variety of music, or exploring Cambridge and the world beyond.

Noah Chung Noah is a sophomore in Winthrop concentrating in unemployability (CS). He "plays" violin (it's hit or miss -Skye). He's from Hawaii so he can get you the special Vivillon in Pokémon Go if you ask him nicely. Outside of counting rests incorrectly with Josh in rehearsal, Noah mostly just gets roasted by his friends.
Ben Fortuin Ben Fortuin is a freshman in Grays studying Electrical Engineering who plays viola for Pops. Whenever he's not rotting away playing video games, he can be found grinding puzzles or haphazardly snowboarding.

Webmaster
Josh Park Josh is a senior in Currier House from Honolulu, Hawaii. While Josh does play the violin, that is far from his primary role in Pops. Instead, Josh used to have the ever so important task of rolling the cart of music to and from rehearsal and remembering the combination to the locker, now he just updates the website. In his free time, Josh likes to collect keychains and eat cherry tomatoes.
Webmaster Support
Catie Thai Catie is a senior in Quincy House who plays violin. She is concentrating in chemistry because she likes drawing hexagons and shooting crystals with lasers. When she is not telling Josh that the website does in fact look fine, she can be found bringing her tiger plushie everywhere she goes, drawing cats on every white/chalk board she sees, and taking detours by the GSD and Prescotts in the hopes of finding Remy the Harvard cat (please let her know if you see him).
Brian Ham Brian is a senior in Dunster from Seoul, South Korea who used to play the violin. He is a CS concentrator, so that he can support his favorite webmaster. He loves Pops as it is orchestra but only with the fun parts. He intends to concentrate in computer science if he survives this semester's classes and spends all his time competing with friends on jstris, futsal, and the NYTimes mini. Brian would appreciate any tips on his fantasy football team.

When she is not doing psets (but she is always doing psets!), she enjoys working out at the MAC and eating her way through Harvard Square.

When he's not playing piano for Pops, he can be found taking 4-hour-long wellness breaks the night before a Chem pset is due, attempting to create the perfect tea blend, or making music one can only generously describe as jazz.
