Here are some New Member Audition Stories 

 

 
Foley and I survived the audition.
But first we had three espressos!

 
 

 

We hitched a ride to Choir Auditions!

 



I woke up, grabbed my ukulele, and hopped a bus to my choir audition!

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone told me I would make new friends in the Alma Choirs
and, by golly, they were right!

 

 

I wath  a little worried about my overbite, but I pathed the audithon.
 
 

 


 

 

 
 


 

 

I'm a maverick, but I swear I love to sing!  

 

 
 

 


 

 

 

 

All my friends came to cheer me on

and they did an interpretive dance! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doc is so nice. After our audition, he gave us ice cream! Maybe cause we were really good, or maybe cause we cried a little.

 

 

 


 

 


 

Doc said we could be in the choir, but he didn't buy us ice cream :( 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After my audition, these two basses just came up and kissed me.

 

 

 

 

 


 

We could have danced all night after making it  into the Alma Choirs!

 

 

 
 

When I passed the audition and joined the choir, I couldn't wait to tell my mom!

 

 

Who knows what your audition story will be?

Come and find out for yourself! 

Monday - Wednesday of Pre-term 

 

The memory and spiritual ideals of the late Bishop Thomas Makarios remain alive in a figurative sculpture that was dedicated in May 2009 near the center of campus. The Bishop, professor of religious studies at Alma for 25 years, was founder of the American Diocese of the Malankara Orthodox Church of India and the first Metropolitan Bishop of Canada, United Kingdom and Europe, and South Africa.
