i feel like i have been traveling for the entire month of january…probably because i have. no sooner did i get back from the college theater festival and i was going again for another week – this time traveling with a small group of musicians called the university singers, a contemporary acapella group put together for recruiting purposes. all of us are members of the bigger concert choir, so we know each other well, especially after touring europe together only a week before. for five days, we traveled around the tri-state area, singing in high-schools and meeting potential students.
i tried to think back to a time when i was in the shoes of those high schoolers: trying to fit in, stay cool and choose a college. it made me realize just how thankful i was to have been led to usf, and how much i have enjoyed my time here. it’s hard to believe i only have a few months left.
the experience turned out to be really wonderful, making music and memories with my fellow singers. we had some great performance experiences, as well as some fun conversations in the school van. the best moment of the week during a question/answer session following one of our performances. a small boy studied our group for a second before raising his even smaller hand in question. “are you guys a family?” he asked.
we looked around and smiled at each other. “we certainly are.”
that's a really cool thing.
