I waited all week for the “Benjamin Simeon’s Hoe Down Throw Down” theme dinner. No joke. I mean what college student passes up free food? Plus, I could not miss out on the chance to dress up as a cowgirl with a few of my friends. Between eating cornbread and chocolate covered apples and riding the mechanical bull and dancing to some country music, the Hoe Down was the place to be. Every year there are different themes for the dinners. So if country music is not your thing, don’t worry.
At Elmira, it is hard to find people without any school spirit, and that is why I love it here. My classmates, friends and professors are not afraid to show their Elmira pride. The spirit originates not only with the founding of the college and its traditions, but also with Dr. Meier and his wife, also Dr. Meier and their commitment to showing up to basketball games and Encore events. Whether it ‘s Mountain Day, Octagon Fair, Fall Orientation, or a sporting event, you’ll definitely see Mrs. Dr. Meier taking pictures. The spirit here is contagious, and if you haven’t caught the EC bug, you definitely will soon!
With all that’s been going on, I cannot even start to think about Thanksgiving break. Orchesis starts dress rehearsal tomorrow for next week’s Encore performances! I’m getting a little nervous, but I know that we will put on two amazing performances! Orchesis is a group for any dancer-whether the only dancing you do is when you’re jamming out in front of your mirror, or whether you do as much dancing as a professional ballerina, then this group is for you. Well, I’m off to a good night’s sleep before Orchesis tech week starts tomorrow!
You cannot help but get into the Elmira spirit!
