Nora Schwartz: “If the stormwater team started a band, what would we call ourselves?”

Like most great ideas at Choice One, Nora’s band-building idea didn’t take long to gain traction. Like our Ryan Lefeld Waiting Room and candy-based messaging system, what started as a passing thought quickly turned into something much bigger. The result? We would like to officially introduce The Runoffs.

The group wasted no time pulling together their debut lineup. The setlist features “It’s Raining Men,” “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” “Rain Rain Go Away,” “Purple Rain,” and “How High is the Water.” A cohesive theme? Maybe. A little heavy on precipitation? Definitely. But the vision is there.

At Choice One, hidden talents aren’t unheard of. Even in the realm of music, Michael Kunzi brings real band experience, and Kyle Siegrist has fully committed to his role as a boy band frontman before. Will The Runoffs ever take the stage? Hard to say. The setlist may need a little workshopping, but if a debut show ever does happen, we already know one thing: the flow won’t miss a beat.
