Mar. 18, 2011—As I’ve been thrown right back into school after spring break, I’ve neglected to share a lot of pre-spring break events here! Here are a few things I went to that were awesome–and keep an eye out for my upcoming post on the mission trip I went on over Spring Break!
Scheduling Begins
Mar. 17, 2011—It’s halfway through March and we’re entering the home-stretch. A (mere?) six weeks of class and a finals week lay between me and a very, very long summer break.

Melodores at TPAC!
Feb. 17, 2011—After a rough start to my morning, (I slept through my alarm and missed a test…guess there’s a first time for everything), things started to shape up. I got in touch with my professor and he was more than happy to let me come in a make it up! I woke up and realized that...

Nov. 11, 2010—So I know we promised that the CD would be released on Tuesday, but a couple of copyright hangups have forced us to push the date back until we have cleared everything up. Not to worry – the Melodores debut album “Rain Check” WILL be coming out soon though!! In order to promote our name...
The Melodores…Go on Tour!
Oct. 20, 2010—This past weekend the Vanderbilt Melodores acapella group traveled to my hometown (Apex, NC) for a tour of the Raleigh/Durham area.

Scrambling before the year ends…
