as they greet guests

 


Nothing can keep Theo Hofmann away from a good party!


The office staff is all smiles as they contemplate
the upcoming karaoke event

 


Brenda Bradshaw and Carrie are in the
party mood..... despite it being only 11 am!


Alan Davidson and Angus MacQuibban
catch up over lunch

 


Members of the Kelley and Lewis labs cleverly hide
their karaoke superstar status in advance of the event


Eagerly anticipating another wonderful lunch
catered by Hart House.......

 


.....although the tiny plates challenged
our balancing skills.


David Williams, Lori Rutkevich and John Glover
perform a harmonious parody tune titled
"I'm Dreaming of a White Labcoat"

Members of the Sharpe, Brown and Smibert
labs enjoy the show


Reithmeier lab members keep a low profile before
their dramatic transformation....

Deber lab members take on a little
liquid courage before their performance....

 


...an exuberant (and mostly intelligible)
rendition of White Christmas


Not to be oudone, Reinhart Reithmeier, Charles Deber
and Roy Baker (a.k.a. the X-Rays) belt out a
hilarious version of "Silhouettes on the Shade"
(top marks for serious over-acting!)

 



Their efforts find a very receptive audience!

 


Winner of most unexpected performance - the Kelley and Reithmeier labs take on the challenge of a 6 min version of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" (watch out Freddie Mercury!)

 


John Glover provides authentic head-banging
accompaniment to "Bohemian Rhapsody"
