...Among the seven called back sat the five founding members of Nonsequitur, though they were unaware of this at the time: Joshua Diamant, Andy Lebwohl, Michael Marcus, Jason Moss, and Max Rosenberg who was also called Ravyn. They sat in the ever-comfortable couches of black leather in Lerner Hall as they waited to be called by the musical director of the group for which they were all auditioning. And the musical director called them, and they sang....

One by one the seven entered E477 to sing their solos, while the rest waited in the hallway. Here were the Founding Five assembled, though they were unaware of this at the time. And Max stood among them while the others sat, and he made himself and his contact information known to all. He passed around paper and pen, and the others in turn made themselves and their contact information known to him. And Max retrieved the paper and said unto them: "If none of those present gain acceptance into this group, then we shall start a group of our own." And in time the callback auditions drew to their end, and all dispersed.

...These five met frequently for rehearsals in the second floor piano lounge in Lerner Hall, because no other space was available to them. And their voices rang clear and true, but something was missing. And a consensus was reached that this plucky group of five, which had taken to calling itself Non Sequitur, should hold auditions and recruit new men....

The flyers were up and the word was out, yet none save a lone drunkard came to sing for Non Sequitur. So it was decided to abandon auditions and begin recruiting, and Max was placed in charge of this....

The new recruits ultimately proved obnoxious, or annoying, or ill suited to the group, in turn. And so after minutes and minutes of deliberation it was decided that the group would pare itself down to the original five and seek to become coeducational, accepting members of both sexes....

Our historians have not been able to pinpoint the exact date of this exceedingly significant debate, but there is evidence that points to a day in late October or early November of 2000. We do know with certainty that the first female member, Rona Behar, was granted acceptance to the group shortly after, without a formal audition, on November 7 of the same year.

The rest is, well, history. Nonsequitur (the name was later shortened to one word) continued auditioning and recruiting all throughout the Fall 2000 and Spring 2001 semesters, performing at Greens Farms Academy's Java Jam in Westport, Conn. for their debut concert. After a triumphant Columbia University debut on April 21, 2001, Nonsequitur has continued performing to large and extra-large crowds around campus and New York City.
