Chorale Tour!!! (all I do is sing…)
Hey all!
Chorale tour over Halloween went SPLENDIDLY. It was a very tight schedule but we maintained it quite well and things worked out really well. Here’s a photo of Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois- I’m sure some of you have heard of it. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and it’s made mainly of poured concrete! SO CRAZY! It also looks really small, but I found out in can hold like 500 people. REALLY cool place.
We also sang at Christ Church Cathedral in Louisville, Kentucky, which was fun. It’s actually a registered historic landmark!
Ok, so I’m trying to upload photos to show you guys, but it’s being lame and won’t let me. So, I’ll figure that out and get back to you to make sure you see how awesome theses places are.
Overall it was a really fun time. Our new members got to know all of our older members, and we’re really started to jell as a group, both socially and musically.
This week I’ve kind of been playing catch up, both on sleep and on some schoolwork. Now that midterms are over, it’s “back to the grind,” as it were. It’s hard to keep in mind that some tests are coming up (too soon, I think) when you’re busy doing things like chorale tour, or going to see a movie because you’ve got some free time. I thank my lucky stars that I’ve been taught and have learned efficient time management. If I could go back and teach a class to high schoolers, it’d be time management. So much of life depends on it, and it’s rarely covered in schools.
On the plus side, the admissions office is starting to get busier: a lot of you guys are mailing in your applications, which is awesome! Keep ‘em coming!
I’m really excited- On The Rocks (male a cappella group) got asked to perform on a concert with St. Louis University’s a cappella group, the Barenaked Statues (don’t ask, I don’t know WHY they picked that name). So next weekend we’re going down to sing on their concert and spread the musical word about why BU is so awesome! w00t!
Ok, I’m off to bed…11:30 PM is actually an early bedtime for me! Go figure!
Cheers,
Kevin
