Megg Abner is presently a Junior at Binghamton University. Besides being the current Vice President of NSA, She is also the President of THE WHOLE ENTIRE A CAPPELLA COUNCIL (Not made up). Megg is shmexy as hell and don’t you dare deny it! She loves her NSA acapeeps a crazy amount-she only wishes they’d party with her more. As Soprano Captain, she serves as a role model and inspiration for her fellow Sopz. $oprano Lov3! Megg is a complete dork. She’s also “special”. Currently, she has the main solo in Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show. And believe me, when you hear her do her solo, you will definitely want to do the time warp again seeing as your time will definitely be warped.

Personality: ENFJ
Justin Chang was looking for an a cappella experience at Binghamton university and found that No Strings Attached seemed like a great way to positively utilize his desire to sing. Justin is currently in the process of declaring a minor in music and hopes to continue to grow and advance his musical expertise with the bubbly and spontaneous NSA.

Gigi is so grateful to be a part of NSA. Theater has run through her blood all of her life, and she spent six years during middle and high school participating in a non-for-profit theater organization called Wingspan Arts, in which she acted in various musicals and plays. When she's not singing her face off, you can find her hiking in the Nature Preserve or talking to anyone who will listen about environmental issues!
Audition Song: “Dive Too Deep” by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Favorite Song We Sing: “Hey Good Lookin’”
Personality: ENFP
This guy’s name is Adam. That’s it, just Adam. Adam Gilles-Thomas. Two last names is kinda weird but the rest of him is alright. He loves singing and being a part of something so fun with such a great group of people. He’s always loved music and singing, and musical theater became an interest near the beginning of high school. Ever since then, he’s been hooked! Obviously NSA was therefore a perfect fit. (Because honestly, who doesn’t love Disney?) Other than that, Adam is just your average glass-half-full
kinda guy, who used to watch Fairly Oddparents, but that seems sort of unrelated, doesn’t it?

Audition song: “So Much Better” from Legally Blonde
Favorite song we sing: "Prince Ali"
Personality type: ESFJ
Kate Butera cannot put into words how incredibly excited she is to be a member of NSA. She has spent her high school career frantically running around managing stage left, ensuring that everyone stays as stress free as possible, and that no one breaks a set piece. Kate has been described by many of her friends as “The Mom” and the “Peacekeeper”, as she is always willing to help people avoid conflict. She is a Broadway fan girl; she stalks the playbill.com Youtube page, and knows an embarrassing amount of Broadway trivia. Her life goal is to transform into Ariel from The Little Mermaid, which is why she couldn’t be more thrilled to get to be a part of this group. She feels immensely lucky to be friends with such an awesome and friendly group of people, and can’t wait for performances!
Audition Song: “Journey to the Past” from Anastasia
Favorite Song We Sing: “You and Me (But Mostly Me)”
Personality Type: INFJ
Robin 2.0 is a theater nerd who is indubitably thrilled to be a part of the fun and talented group that is NSA. After practically living on the stage all throughout high school, she didn’t know how to fill the empty gap in her life until she found this little niche, and can’t wait to sing musicals all day long with people who (presumably) won’t think that she’s a complete weirdo for doing so. Her dream role is Javert in Les Mis, but with the knowledge that there are some dreams that cannot be, she’ll be happy singing pretty much anything—which is good, since she’s planning to minor or dual major in music. When she’s not seen attempting to be studious or crying over Aaron Tveit, she’s usually doodling, writing, jamming out a little on her uke, or petting soft and fluffy animals; also Netflix. She’s super excited to make music with everyone!

When she’s not singing, she enjoys binge watching TV shows, practicing yoga, and baking cupcakes!

This is Jordan. She enjoys salt and vinegar chips, long walks on the beach, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. She also loves to sing. Jordan has been passionate about music all her life, and was so excited to check-out a capella when she came to Binghamton. When she saw there was a group that sang Disney and Broadway music it was like a dream come true! She is so happy to have found such an amazing group that allows her to keep music in her life. NSA has been like a family to her and she feels incredibly lucky to be around such talented performers. She would like to encourage everyone to get involved in music in some way shape or form, because it is rewarding and the most fun she has ever had!

Maeve (pronounced like Dave but exponentially cooler) auditioned for No Strings Attached her first semester at Binghamton, just another science major who is not so secretly obsessed with musical theater. She is lucky to have found such a loving family so quickly and loves it more and more each day. She has always done musical theater throughout school and plays guitar so she can keep on singing even when there aren't 15 musical theater a capella nerds around to harmonize with. She's absolutely elated at getting to spend four exciting years surrounded by such talented and kind people. Keep on smiling!

Harvey has always enjoyed singing since the moment he was born. He sought a different and unique musical experience at Binghamton. He has participated in numerous vocal ensembles since elementary school, and even sang at Carnegie Hall, but he had never been part of an a capella group. Even though he had never been part of an a capella group before, he looks forward to singing with the members of NSA.
