Greetings from Annapolis, where Plebe Summer has just passed the half-way mark. In between early morning PEP, drill practice, obstacle courses, sailing, the shooting range, learning rates, rack-races, sports period (and so much more), the Plebes are very busy learning how to become Midshipmen who work as a team. While most music activities are not active during Plebe Summer, some musical Plebes have been finding a musical outlet by participating in the Chapel Choirs and Drum and Bugle Corps.
Looking ahead to the Fall semester, a full calendar of concerts are on tap. Even thought tickets won’t be available until September 2nd, go ahead and mark your calendars with the following dates now:
September 5th: 2nd Class Parents Weekend Concert, featuring the Combined Glee Club and Gospel Choir
September 12th: Organ Concert and Midshipmen Instrumental Ensemble Concert
October 17th: Gospel Choir Concert
October 31st and November 1st: Halloween/All Saints Concert
November 21st: Midshipmen Music Ensemble Concert featuring the String Ensemble and Mariachi
December 2nd: Trident Band Holiday Concert
