log log land (spring ‘24)
Each year, the MIT Logs produce an original movie to premiere at their Spring concert. In 2024, they debuted Log Log Land—a movie-musical inspired by La La Land and reimagined with a distinctly MIT twist. Featuring five original songs and a storyline centered on MIT student life, the film was met with critical acclaim and highlighted by both The Boston Globe and The Tech. The full movie and soundtrack are available on YouTube, with music also streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and other major platforms.
About
In the spring of 1949, a group of MIT students came together to form the Logarhythms, the very first a cappella group at MIT. Building upon the influence of barbershop tunes, the Logs quickly became a major musical force at MIT and the surrounding community.
In the late 1990s, the Logs made the transition from barbershop to modern a cappella by introducing vocal percussion and complex arrangements of modern songs. The Logs began performing in the greater Boston area and then launched tours around the country and world, reaching as far as London, California, Texas, Ohio, New York, Florida, Louisiana, and all over New England.
In 2025, the Logs celebrated their 75th anniversary as one of the country’s finest a cappella groups. Their tremendous success is attributed to their inimitable alumni, who have shaped this group into what it is today. The active members look to carry on their tradition of excellence.

Alumni
The successes of the active Logs would not be possible without the foundation and rich history of Logs alumni.

Reunions and Gatherings
Every 5 years, Logs from around the world return to where it all began—on MIT’s campus—to celebrate what it means to be a singer, an entertainer, an MIT alum, and, above all, a Log. In March 2025, over 100 Logs, including active members and alumni, gathered at MIT to celebrate the group’s 75th anniversary. The event brought Logs from across generations together to share old stories and create new memories.

The active group travels, records music, and puts on the largest MIT student events on campus. Unfortunately, the money the Logs make from gigs is not normally enough to cover all of those expenses.
