The group is comprised of both music ma-jors and non-music majors alike.

In recent years, Variations has toured in Austria, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Peru, including memo-rable performances at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna and the Czech Museum of Music in Prague. The church van leaves Smithwood at 11:00 a.m. Sign up on the Keenager bulletin board.
