Hey Guys,
So, I realized that I intended to tell you about touring last week, but somehow lost track of my goal (as usual), so today will be a short and sweet summary of the one day Norsemen tour.
First, a little background on Luther college music ensemble touring:
Almost every music ensemble on Luther Campus tours at some point during the year. Some, like Nordic Choir, tour almost every other month for weekends or more at a time. Others, such as Norsemen, only tour for a weekend or a day. And there are also some which don't tour at all, the Jazz Band and other smaller ensembles included.
However, Norsemen went on it's tour today. Ever heard of the phrase "rain or shine..." Well, we members of Norsemen epitomized that phrase today. It POURED while we were loading the bus at 4:45 am. Then, just to tease, the rain let up once we were in Excelsior MN for the two church services we performed there. However, as soon as we were going to get back on the bus, *clap boom*...it began to downpour again. It was if God was trying to send us a message. However, it proceeded to rain for the rest of the day. Luckily, touring ensembles rarely do outside gigs.
The other nice thing about touring is all of the free food. Today, we were fed twice, and the two churches we sang at (Excelsior and Austin MN) went all out on feeding us. For lunch, we had better sandwiches than you can get from Panera, and for dinner we had Lasagna (I am a little biased... Lasagna is my favorite food). It was really cool that these churches went out of there way to do this for us. To be honest, I was expecting to have to pay for both lunch and dinner, so I was pleasantly surprised.
As usual, I'm writing to you in the middle of homework. One of these days I'll prioritize and actually have a time that is for JUST blogging. Maybe. :)
LATER!
Jake
