On Monday nights I'm typically rehearsing with our local Chamber Singers choir. It's a fun group, and I enjoy the music. I'm an alto, and I think the alto section is probably the craziest & most fun. Most rehearsal nights we plan "what we're going to do the next week" - and it's typically something pretty silly. St. Patrick's Day we wore green, and the week of Valentine's we all wore red - not too wild. But sometimes it's "band-aid" night and we all have a band-aid somewhere on our faces. Inevitably, on a night such as that, the director will say something about everyone else keeping a distance from the altos "who appear to have all gotten some strange affliction." Silly. One night not too long ago we did "college night" - which, for most of us, meant simply wearing a shirt from our alma mater. I happened to have a little flair left from a basketball game over 2 years ago. Go Calvin!
Calvin, Calvin, sing we all to thee
Our dear alma mater we pledge fidelity
Our dear alma mater we pledge fidelity
Forever faithful to maroon and gold
Thy name we ever shall uphold!*
*Note of corny family trivia for you: I actually learned this song from my parents (both went to Calvin) and NOT from actually being at Calvin. I'm sure my kids will learn it too - just b/c it's sometimes fun to sing.
