Kappa Kappa Psi – Iota Pi Chapter

01. This Is Berk (score) - How To Train Your Dragon OST

Music Recommendations:

We're back recommending music this week with Sarah Wattenberg and a piece from the How to Train Your Dragon OST. Sarah says, "I would actually recommend all the music from How to Train Your Dragon, but this song does a good job of providing samples from all the different themes heard throughout the movie. It’s fun for me to hear the Nordic influences in some of the songs, and I love how well it conveys certain emotions of the characters. I really enjoy the music in all three How to Train Your Dragon movies, but my favorite thing about the soundtracks is the epic French horn parts." Thanks for that recommendation Sarah!

Photos from Kappa Kappa Psi - Iota Pi Chapter's post

On this day 27 years ago, the Iota Pi chapter was officially chartered. However, the story of the chapter's founding begins in the spring of 1991 while the Symphonic Band was on tour. The band played an American Bandmaster's Association concert at Arizona State University, where Cal Poly band members were able to meet brothers of the Beta Omicron chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi. Following this tour, band director William Johnson and 16 band members decided to start the fraternity colonization process at Cal Poly. After a long year of colonization and petitioning, Iota Pi was finally founded on April 5, 1992 with 14 brothers and one honorary member. How fitting that right now brothers from Iota Pi are traveling to Western District Convention at ASU on the day of our founding! ... See more

Benny Hill Theme

Music recommendations:
This week we asked brother Matthew North, and he recommended the "Benny Hill Theme"
"Yakety Sax, more commonly known as the Benny Hill theme, is an iconic American composition by Homer Louis Randolph III. It originally surfaced in 1963 and was added as the show's theme song shortly after. I recommend this song today because it is one that has lasted the test of time and is still used in many popular films to date. This is just one great example of how music can shape the mood of a scene and how music plays an essential role in the emotional stimulation of an audience. This specific song adds a humorous tone to any moment and will lighten the mood of any scene. I hope after listening to it, it brightens your day as well."

Matt is an active brother on Brotherhood Committee. Thanks for the recommendation, Matt! ... See more

Bastille - Warmth (Live At Capitol Studios)

Our Recommendations:

Dead Week is over at Poly, but now we have to worry about finals and we thought we could use some wholesome entertainment during study breaks, so we asked Paige Rooney if she had any recommendations for us. She got back to us with this, Warmth by Bastille. This is what she had to say, "Bastille has been my all time favorite band since they released their hit single Pompeii in 2013. You may also recognize Bastille on the radio today with a song called Happier. Dan Smith has a hauntingly beautiful voice and is as good live as he is on the record. I especially love how he incorporates strings and brass into many of his songs! This is one of my favorite songs off their newest album, Wild World, and I honestly like this acoustic version better than the original. The entire album is a reaction to the crazy, political world we live in today. I highly recommend listening to other Bastille songs if you like indie/alternative!" Thanks for the recommendation!
