In this episode of The Dumping Ground, I sat down with Aaron Brumfield Jr., a member of the University of Oregon’s premier all-male a cappella group, On The Rocks. We dove into a conversation about one of their most anticipated annual performances: In The Dark. This unique end-of-year show begins at midnight and takes place in the EMU Amphitheater, right in the heart of campus. During the event, the group performs every song they’ve learned throughout the academic year, offering the audience a full musical journey through their season. Aaron shared insights into what makes In The Dark such a memorable and emotional tradition—not only for the audience but also for the members of On The Rocks, especially those preparing to graduate.
