It’s 6:30 am. The alarm goes off. Our first shift of dedicated brothers and sisters eagerly wake up, ready to start their shift in line. It’s the morning of Spring Sing—the greatest musical tradition our campus has seen. (Spring Sing, for those who may not know, is a musical talent show, filled with amazing student musicians and a hilarious cast of students who keep us laughing between acts. Filled with celebrity judges and outdoor fun, Spring Sing packs in an audience of over 5000 students). The brothers of the Psi Chapter and sisters of the Epsilon Kappa Chapter have traditionally been the first in line for Spring Sing each year with shifts starting at 7am. Weeks before the event, “Spring Sing” pops on our agendas, reminding everyone to get tickets and join in on the fun in waiting in line and bringing food. While a great deal of joint bonding occurs in line on this momentous day, we have found an even better way to hang out with our brothers and sisters and celebrate the role that music plays in our lives. This year, we decided to go out on a limb and audition as a production (a five minute skit of sorts, with lots of singing and dancing). We spent two weeks rehearsing: three hours a night, four nights a week (a rehearsal schedule that even the Marching Band can’t compete with!) After all the hard work and getting used to performing without instruments in hand (stepping off with our right foot was tricky, as well), we are proud to say that this year, Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma will be performing in Spring Sing 2008! So I know some are concerned: but who will wait in line? Not to worry, we’ll still be there. But this year, we may need a bit of help. Come join us! Brothers and sisters of the district, alumni—please come support us in Spring Sing! Watch us perform and help us spread music all over our campus. Being part of this amazing musical tradition is an honor and a privilege we have long awaited for, and now that it’s finally here, we can’t wait to share it with you. So come May 2, please come hang out with us line, listen to some amazing student talent, and support your brothers and sisters, so that together so we can all foster music on college campuses. The show starts at 8pm, but we’ll be there much earlier! If you would like to come join in this fun, please contact Esther Lee via e-mail (you can find her info on the roster) for ticketing information and other such goodies. We’ll see you soon!
