Waiting for Warm…Choir Tour Here We Come
Brrr! Usually the end of February means the beginning of the Northern Minnesota thaw. It begins to warm up a little bit and the wind begins to cease its arctic chill. However, the past couple of weeks have been unusually cold and the wind hasn’t diminished one bit. Although I enjoy the beautiful pure white snow and crisp winter air, I am ready for a change. Fortunately for me and about 70 other Cobbers that I know, change isn’t too far off.
At about 11:00am this Saturday, February 23, 2008, the Concordia Choir will be headed out on a tour of the South. We have worked long and hard on our music and we are ready to hit the road and have some fun! Our first performance will take place in Benson Great Hall at Bethel University. From there we will continue to head south to the following:
Des Moines, Iowa
Normal, Illinois
Manchester, Missouri
Bartlett, Tennessee – home to our very own Grant Vanderford
Hoover, Alabama
Amite, Louisiana
Mt. Pleasant, Texas
San Antonio, Texas
Arlington, Texas
Wichita, Kansas, and finally back home to good ol’
Moorhead, Minnesota.
We will be gone for 2 weeks, and have a concert in a different state every day until we get to Texas. I’m super excited for our free day in San Antonio. The last time I was in San Antonio it was raining, I was exhausted and not feeling well upon returning from a mission trip in Mexico. This time, San Antonio, watch out! I’m already determined to see and do everything there is to do there. But all in all, I am most looking forward to making beautiful music with my wonderful choir members and the “King of Cool” himself – Dr. Rene Clausen.
And by the way, Moorhead, I expect you to be warmer when I return.
