Blast to the Past



Last weekend we headed north for a Ricks College Symphony Orchestra Reunion. Reunions have such a stigma about them and I have never braved a high school one, but I loved being involved in the music program at Ricks and I thought it would be great to re-live my one claim to music stardom. We went on a campus tour (I don't remember Ricks being this small). It has grown, but I remember complaining about having to walk from Dorm 4 down to the Snow building! There are some beautiful new buildings the temple being the one that stands out the most. It is practically right on campus and just sits up on the hill all white and shiny with the bright blue Idaho sky as a backdrop. After the tour we went to a special performance of the Halloween Concert. The orchestra was amazing (was I really once up on that stage) and the whole show was so entertaining and fun--Dave even enjoyed it. After the concert they had a special dinner for Dr. Call and Bro. Neilson who are turning the orchestra over to someone else next year. It was a fun trip-although I wouldn't recommend the Rexburg Best Western.

Yay for Ricks! There was many a happy day spent there by the both of us. I'm glad you got to go stomp around up there for a bit. Then temple is beautiful!
