Wow - I've been here at Moravian since August 21, and time has flown! It's hard to believe that it's November already!
The past few weeks have been busy, but a lot of fun. In celebration of Halloween, the residents of south campus hosted their annual Haunted House two weeks ago in Clewell, the men's dorm here on South. I had the great honor of getting to be one of the "dead" bodies in the basement. Myself and a few others were under sheets like bodies in a morgue. When victims - I mean, guests - came through, we would slowly come to life and chase them outside. It was a lot of fun, and people were really scared!
It has also been a busy time for the marching band. The day after the haunted house, we marched in the Bethlehem Halloween Parade. The parade was absolutely huge - over a mile and a half long people lining the streets and two tv cameras! There were many local bands, but I think we were the most crowd-pleasing, as the whole band was in costume! My section was characters from the Mario videogame. Other costumes included characters from the Wizard of Oz, fairies, french maids and school girls, to name a few. This past weekend was the band's last performance at a football game. It was a beautiful day for the game, and we performed a stunning show written entirely by seniors in the band. Today was band cleanup, where we organized and filed all of our music, cleaned instruments, and packed away uniforms. As tedious as waking up early on saturdays for football games has been, marching band has been a lot of fun and I will miss it this spring.
On friday, Veteran's Day, the Moravian College Orchestra is performing a benefit concert for the Family Readiness Group of the Pennsylvania National Guard's Bravo Company, 228th Forward Support Battalion. This Bethlehem-based Battalion was recently sent to Iraq, and the Family Readiness Group provides support for the families of the troops. The concert will include patriotic music, as well as selections including the theme from the movie "Saving Private Ryan." This is my first concert with the orchestra, and I'm looking forward to it!
In the meantime, registration for spring courses is already in full swing, and Thanksgiving break is just around the corner! Until next time,
Rachel
