Music Scholarship Look Out…
Wow! I can hardly remember last week because it went by so fast.
Not only did I have all of my classes to stay on top of, but I was in the process of organizing around 300 people to host music scholarship students or be hosted.
This was possibly the biggest project that I have ever taken on. It may not seem like finding hosts for close to 200 people and matching them up by vocalists with vocalist, instrumentalist with instrumentalists even down to individual instruments would be very hard, but it took a lot of concentration and a lot paying attention to details.
Anyway, the whole process went off without any major problems, and I really hope that everybody enjoyed their stay at Concordia. It was also very nice to talk with some of the music scholarship participants/parents, answer questions, and just be real with them.
I know that was really important to me when I was visiting for the same scholarship, so I want to make them feel right at home. Well Friday came and I was extremely grateful to have some time this weekend to just sit around and breathe for a bit. As challenging as the whole thing was, I am grateful for the opportunity to be responsible for such a huge project and I learned a lot during the process.
My favorite part of the whole process though, was sitting at the music scholarship concert and listening to my fellow musicians while looking at all the future Cobbers who had a warm and friendly room to stay in. I think next year, if given the opportunity, I will be much better prepared to get the job done with more efficiency and speed.
All in all, it was fun, now that I can just sit back and enjoy the whole thing.
