T minus 5 hours
Welcome to the official blog of the Goshen College Men's Chorus 2007 West Coast Tour! I am David Glick, a senior physics major at Goshen and one of four tour participants who will be posting reflections and photos from our adventure so that you can share a bit of our experience.

At 5:30 this morning the 52-member chorus will depart from the GC music center on the first leg of our journey to Seattle and beyond. (What, just 5 hours? Perhaps I should finish packing and go to bed!)

Much hard work has been put forth to bring us to this point. The past weeks have required extra hours of rehearsal, but the men have come through with the stamina and and good cheer that characterize the GC men's chorus. (E-mails from Director Jim Heiks pushing us to work hard on memorizing our repertoire have often been met with rapid replies-to-all asserting our readiness to do what it takes to create a professional result.) GC Music Center Director Brian Wiebe and the offices of Alumni and Church Relations also deserve kudos for their diligent efforts on the logistical planning of the tour.

With such planning in place, I look forward with anticipation to the events of this week--chances to share a thing of beauty with others, to strengthen friendships and make new ones and to explore new places. May God, who gave us voices with which to sing, be present with us in our travels and in the message we bring.
