Norsemen...at Luther....really?

Hello all,

This past week the Norsemen began working on our Christmas at Luther music. I never thought I'd say that it's too early for Christmas music, but I'm going to. It's too early for Christmas music. I'm a firm believer in waiting to bring out the Christmas cheer until after Thanksgiving. Wait for the big sales, that's my motto. Granted, my motto in no way seems to reflect Luther College's view on when Christmas starts: October first. That aside, the music itself is pretty cool. We're singing some pretty traditional pieces, but they are really cool arrangements. I also think most of the guys in choir with me share my sentiment on when the Christmas music needs to be pulled out.
Now, with the way Christmas at Luther works, I understand the necessity of preparing. Our first concert is Dec. 4th, and that's a little over a month from now. All of the choirs (7 of them), bands, and orchestras take part in this gargantuan event. This year, it's going to be nationally televised, so you can imagine the excitement...or stress levels that are already floating around with the professors and students.
I think there is a visit day that's in direct relation to Christmas at Luther. If any of you are interested in coming, its a PERFECT opportunity to get some free tickets for you and your family. When you come, you not only get to see the concert, but you also get to audition for any music scholarships that you are thinking about and get to see Luther at its busiest.

Later!
Jake
