Ball State Cardinals (11-0)...
Heck yeah. I had planned on using this post to celebrate University Singers' first show in Chesterton, which I will, but I think I'll start the post with even greater news...Ball State staying undefeated upon beating Central Michigan University just a few minutes ago. The second the score was final, even from my seat backstage of Pruis Hall, I could hear the cheers and shouts of joy from outside. The celebration is still going on in the Village as I sit here and type. My good friend Jake told me that two individuals started running through the streets in their boxers! Anyway, despite my lack of general excitement for the sport of football, I have to admit that winning this game was quite exciting and I can't wait to attend the game next Tuesday! So good luck Cards!
So, with the end of that blurb, I will now continue with the real purpose of my blog, the Chesterton show with University Singers. With it being the first show of the year, needless to say excitement was pulsing through the entire cast. The choral director at Chesterton, Mr. Chris Brush, is a University Singers alumnus, so it was nice to meet back up with him and get a chance to tour the newly-built school and auditorium. There's not really too much I can talk about, so I'll leave it to the pictures to do the talking. The one thing I can say is that this is officially my last first performance with the group as a glee club member; next year is student teaching, so this is it! *cue emotions that I already went through last year* Enjoy the pictures!
