Warm Weather Hits Brevard: Spring is in tiie Air

March 21“ marked the beginning
of the spring season of 2003. Even
if one did not know that that was
the official start of spring, they
could have determined it from the
weather. Last Friday was a beauti
ful, sunny, breezy day. Students
emerged from their rooms and in
stead of sitting in front of their
computers, they sat outside in the
sun, played Frisbee, and just en
joyed the day for fear that it would
not last. The gorgeous weather
lasted into the weekend and the
following week. It would seem that
the worst of the cold weather is
behind us, and we can look forward
to warmer and longer days.
It’s very clear that most students
prefer the warm, sunny weather as
opposed to the cold, dreary winter
weather. “I like it a lot,” said Zach
Yates. “I’m pumped from being out
side, doing some mountain biking,”
added Lyle Orr. Leah Menzies said,
“It makes it easier to get out of bed
in the morning because the sun is out
and shines in through the window.”
It would seem that everyone is en
joying the weather and glad to have
the cold weather behind us. “I’m glad
it’s finally here - it’s nice and warm,
and the all the animals are coming
out” said freshman Sarah Lange.
Many students hke that it is warm
during the day, yet still cool enough
for a sweatshirt or light sweater at
night.
Birds chirping, flowers blooming,
the color green showing up every
where, little critters scuttling about,
Frisbees, picnics, and students outside
studying - these are just a few of the
sights and sounds that you will en
counter as we progress further into
the spring season. Pants will become
shorts and skirts, and sweatshirts will
become tank-tops and t-shirts. And
perhaps while you and your honey are
lying on a blanket creating figures out
of the clouds, keep your eyes open
for the occasional run-away Frisbee!

On Sunday, March 30*, the
Brevard College Chamber Chorale
gave a spring convert that painted a
vivid picture of nature’s transition
from winter to spring via the me
dium of music. Conductor Alfred
Calabrese and accompanist Michael
Brannon narrated the journey
The performance started with
cold winter songs, including “The
Snow” by Edward Elgar, and “Win
ter Cantata” arranged by Vincent
Persichetti. “Winter Cantata” is an
arrangement of 12 haikus. The
Chamber Chorale was accompanied
by Rita Hayes, flute, and Robert Fish,
marimba.
The next part of the program was
a series of songs performed by the
Concentus, including Dr. Calabrese.
Following the introduction to spring,
the chorale members sang the song
of spring in full swing. “We Sing to
Spring” by Claude DeBussy featured
soloist freshman Jenna Myers. The
concert concluded with Michael
Torke’s “Song of Ezekiel.”
Those of us in the audience could
clearly hear the hard work and dis
cipline that went into the prepara
tion of this performance. Congratu
lations to all members of the Cham
ber Chorale as well as the Concetus.
