Juicebox writes their own music, with some of their signature songs including “Bob Ross Bossa,” “What Did You Say” and “Capri Sun.” “We’re a large group of people, and there’s always ideas going on in all of our heads at every practice, and a lot of times we’ll all start to play different ideas at the same time,” Lathrop said.

Juicebox is made up of junior Thaya Zalewski and graduate student Tim Foley on saxophone, junior Michael Dunham on bass, junior Julian Lathrop on drums and senior Sam Atallah on the keyboard.
