Choir Europe Tour

[Quibby]

The UND Concert Choir, the auditioned choir at the University of North Dakota, will be touring in the Netherlands and Belgium March 13-22. Concert stops include an honor choir festival in Bruges, as well as a couple of other stops of which I am currently unaware. I guarantee a great time, if for no other reason than the fact that North Dakotans have hilarious accents. As a bonus, I'll be going along with them; for those of you who know me, that's probably not much of a motivation.

 

Just throwin' it out there; we'd love to actually have an audience at our gigs.

Too bad neither of those places are on my travel list, sorry :( Well, they are, but they can't be afforded at this time unfortunately.

 

But I'm sure you guys will put on some great concerts as you're right, north dakotans do have hilarious accents, and only because they're so close to Minnesota, right?

haha I'm from Missouri but my grandma is from Minnesota and, although she doesn't think she has, she's still retained some of her Minnesotan accent!

I can't mock you for being the RP Division Leader any more! Not fair!

 

Good luck with the tour! I won't be able to cross the Channel, but maybe poke Mystica, since she lives in Belgium. And our Dutch Banders are quiet at the moment.

[Quibby]

Yeah, but I can still mock you for being in charge of the inferior Band, so it's still a net win for me.

*yells*

 

How's that for being quiet eh???

Anyway where exactly in The Netherlands will you perform? Dunno if I can make it but I can check :)

[Quibby]

I don't have the locations yet, though I'm expecting them in the next day or two.
