The Harmonics of 1996-1997 was one of the most talented collection of singers in Harmonics history. Not only were they fantastic singers individually, with so many returning members, this was a group that knew how to sing together well. Joining Kristin, Katy and Christine on soprano was the blues-y, rich voice of Thaila Sundaresan. There were three new altos this year, Shannon Pierce and Cynthia Shih on alto I, and Jossie Medina, who joined Fez on alto II. The Harmonics also welcomed Greg Campbell, who joined Pat, Matthew, and Will on tenor. The bass section was augmented briefly by Mark Englehardt, who left during fall quarter, leaving Bob, Jon, and Ben as the group's foundation.

The Harmonics hosted the North Carolina State Grains of Time, in a show with Mixed Company around St. Patrick's Day, a show later considered to be the zeroeth ShamROCK show. The Harmonics also hosted Artists in Resonance from Cal at a show in Toyon Hall, both of which were great successes. Spring tour led this group to Southern California again, where they sang with the Pomona Ladies' Blue and White at an arch sing, and featured the other infamous trip to Tijuana. This visit was wilder, more raucous, and took four times as long to recover from as the first trip in '95. However, everyone did remember their ID this time... (more on the 96-97 year).
