 === Reach! A Lecture Musical ===
 A professor is lecturing to sleepy students in [[309 Havemeyer]]. A young man ([[Mike Barry]]) stands up and interjects, "Reach!" Music starts playing, and the young man sings a song about how professors need to inspire their students. As the song continues, three other students ([[Kate Berthold]], [[Patrick Young]], [[Trey McArver]]) stand up and sing. They come together in the center of the classroom for the finale, before swiftly disappearing afterwards, leaving the professor and students astounded.
