I am a major general

On April 2-4, 2009 the Columbian Players of Saint Joseph's College presented the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta The Pirates of Penzance. The most memorable song in the play is "I am the very model of a modern major general." Here is a youtube rendition of that song from the SJC performance.

Well done! The entire show was well worth the trip in from Indy.

The audio-visual addition means a good deal. Voices sound quite nice.
