Greetings Bakerites!
 
The current Baker President, Andy Wu '12, wanted me to pass this along to everyone.  First, thanks to everyone who voted, the Baker Piano drop topped the MIT Museum's Top 150 vote, beating out "Hacking," "Brass Rat," and "IHTFP."  Because of this, this year's piano drop will receive a lot of media attention this year.  Andy invites you to attend this year's piano drop which is this Thursday [April 22] at 6 PM.
 
From Andy:
 
"It is at 6PM this Thursday [April 22], and because we won the MIT150 competition, there will be a large media presence. They will be filming the event for an exhibit in the MIT museum, and the piano we drop will be donated to the museum. There will also be a barbecue catered by the dining hall.

 
The piano drop is a Baker tradition that started in 1972. As the name of the event implies, it is an event in which Baker House residents drop a piano off the roof of our dorm. This event, which takes place on Spring drop date, is open to all of campus and covered by local news media. This always gets a lot of publicity for both Baker House and the dorms at MIT. This year, we have two donated pianos, an upright and a grand piano, both of which are broken and irreparable. As in the past, this year’s piano drop will be accompanied by a barbecue, provided by Baker Dining."
 
Thanks, and hope you enjoy it!
