HOSTED  BY SAINT JOHN'S ABBEY AND UNIVERSITY

Collegeville, Minnesota

June 13, 2000

Today was a lot like yesterday.  We rehearsed for our big premiere concerts this Thursday and Friday and went to music and religion class.  In music we learned about intervals, which helps us to understand our music and sing it more accurately.  In religion we studied the Trinity--Dr. Bobertz makes every religion topic very interesting.

We have really started to get to know one another and some good friendships are being made.

The whole choir rehearsed our chant piece Benedicta Sit with Dr. Prassl today.  We caught on really well and sounded great.

This afternoon many adult musicians arrived for the annual summer Liturgical Music Conference.  We went to Evening Prayer in the Abbey with the monks, and the conference conference particiants were there also.

We got our albs today.  These robes are long and kind of white and so we all look just like little angels--or at least that's what some of our counselors said.

It rained a LOT tonight and we got soaked going to our root beer float party.  We had the party with other high school students who are on campus with the Youth in Theology and Ministry Camp.  We got to know each other and had a great time.

No new pictures were taken today, but there will be more for tomorrow....
