5 Years at Ball State...
1st time at a Ball State football game. As a student section cheerer, that is. That's right...I said it. 5 years at Ball State, and the game this past Wednesday against NIU was the first one I've attended as a spectator. Sure for three years I was part of "The Pride of Mid-America" marching band and attended all games then, but my junior year was gameless, as was my 5th year...until now! I've never been one to sit in front of the TV for hours watching sports or even sitting in the bleachers for hours for a game. But after several threats from my friends, I gave in and decided to go. I'm not sure if it was the thrill of knowing our past record against NIU wasn't the best...or the fact we totally crushed them...or maybe both...whatever it was, I don't think I've ever had so much fun at a sporting event! And of course, I took my handy-dandy new camera to document it. Unfortunately, I didn't make sure it was charged before I went, so it made it through halftime then died. However, I still do have some photos for you to enjoy. Nothing too exciting as everyone has seen photos from a football game...but they are exciting for me!
Along with that, University Singers had their first "mini" show this past Friday at the Delaware County Country Club. We were invited by Dr. Kvam, the Dean of the College of Fine Arts. With no room to move around, it was a nice "stand-and-jive" kind of performance with around 100+ in the audience. Though they thoroughly enjoyed it, it was far from our best work, unfortunately. I wasn't able to get any photos from this, but do look for my next post as I will be blogging about our first major show. On Saturday, we are traveling to Chesterton to perform in their high school auditorium. If you happen to be in that area, the show begins at 7:30pm I believe. Not sure about tickets as they will set the price for those. Nonetheless, we are all excited to be able to do our first show!
In closing, here are some pics from the game. Enjoy!
Pic 1: Me and Lindsey (fellow University Singer) Pic 2: The football team taking the field Pic 3: What's a football game without the marching band?!
Pic 4: Each time we score, we find a victim and throw them in the air for each point we have. (and that's my hand...the black blob...I was wearing bear claws)
Pic 5: The most embarrassing field goal attempt ever. Pic 6: When we have the opposing team at a third down, the student section chirps!
