The Freshman A Capella Jam, or Why the Crimson Key is a Terrible Organization
Posted by duncan in college life on September 5, 2009
I love gullible freshmen, for one thing. We were the last in the a capella jam (we being Glee Club Lite), and in the announcement before Hey Julie by Fountains of Wayne, Umang announced that the next song was “…dedicated to a Julie in the audience, so if you’re here, this is for you.” No one laughed, there were only coos and ahs. Wonderful.
Now the Crimson Key is an organization that only runs events for only the freshmen, and does it poorly. We were scheduled for a sound check at 6:30, in full “costume”, and then we were to be in Sanders Theater at 8:45. What they neglected to tell us is that they had already calculated that we would be on stage at around 10:15. I don’t think any choir needs to be dressed and ready for a performance an hour and a half before their performance. Incidentally, it was scheduled to be a 2.5 hour concert, so a good deal of our audience had left by the time we got up on stage. On a positive note (a pun, get it?) they really did seem to enjoy our performance.
