This last weekend was crazy. It was the weekend of the Western Baptist (operating under the name of Corban) music department retreat. Everyone from the band, choir, jazz band, and orchestra was there at this church in Sisters. We went out on Friday night, practiced Saturday morning and evening, and performed on Sunday. We put on the entire service for the church. I think the coolest part was when the band and orchestra played with the guitar, piano, and vocalists while they lead the singing. It sounded so cool, even beautiful at times. And the band and orchestra parts were arranged by our own Mr. Barsch. He's probably the coolest music teacher I have ever met. He's an amazing pianist, a violist, and I've heard he has absolutly mad skills on the organ.
Last night I was up till 2:00 because I had to finish up some reading and write out my report for my Bible survey class. Then at around 5:15 I was woken up by the Eagles president. He said that it was time for phase two of the Eagles initiation. So I got up, and walked with the rest of them to go get everyone else in the group. Then we went to our meeting spot and we were given certificates that say we are now life long members of the Eagles. Then they said that we each had to take an energy drink/frapachino. But they did say that we didn't have to drink it. Well for any of you who know me, you'll know that I'm not into the energy drink/coffee racket. So I took my frapachino and headed back to bed.
Apearently it is Eagle tradition to get the new guys up in the middle of the night the night before their first American thought and culture exam. And then they supply them with what they need to keep them from going back to sleep before it was time for class. Some of the guys actually bought into it. They drank their energy drink and didn't go back to bed.
Not me, I had been up 'till two already, and I was going to get as much sleep as I could.
Good news, I got 100% on my reading report.
Time for me to head out to dinner. Laters.

Capuccino Pie sounds pretty good, but all you got was glorified coffee!
Too cool about Mr. Barsch.
Does the church trade you retreat facilities for worship? That's a sweet idea!
I don't know if they charged us for the facilities or not. I just had to pay five bucks for food.
