Tonight was Catacomb’s Folk Festival. This is a night in which students sign up to perform talent acts. Students do anything from poetry reading to musical renditions. Some students play pieces that they’ve written themselves, others play classics that everyone enjoys to hear, and then there are those that give us a break from the music to recite beautiful pieces. It is a wide range of just plain, good entertainment. The night starts early in the evening and ends early in the morning. This year the last act didn’t end until 3:30. My favorite thing about the festival is that it’s held in the art barn, a room far to small to hold all the audience. So we are all squeezed in, and as we sit real close to each other we enjoy performer after performer. People come and go as they please…I usually have to drag myself from the acts; the performances are just so good.

I know I’ve said this before, but again I am just in awe with the talent we have here at Covenant. Now I know that a lot of my amazement has to do with the fact that I have very little talent and absolutely NO musical talent what-so-ever, but it sure does make me appreciate nights like this so much. I love the fact that Covenant gives its students so many opportunities to perform their talents and gives people like me chances to just enjoy them. Yes, it was a blissful night.
