Brothers, Sail On!

Today the Glee Club gathered for a rehearsal in the boat’s conference room with
our alumni who were able to join us for the cruise. Our rehearsal prepared us for our
evening performance outside of the main dinner hall. We were pleased to see an amazing
turnout and we were well received by the guests. The space quickly filled with audience
members as guests left their dinners. We are looking forward to our second performance
on the boat this Friday, and hope to see an equally energetic audience!

After another successful rehearsal with the Club and our alumni, the Glee Club
gathered to watch the Penn Pipers perform in the middle of the day at one of the ship’s
restaurants. The Pipers’ performances were very well-received, and the hostess of the
ship’s activities even came to watch and asked the Pipers to perform again later in the
cruise on the way back from Bermuda. In the evening, the Club attended a stand-up
comedy show where a few members of the Club became the butt of some jokes, some
members attended a learn-how-to-waltz class, and the Club tore up the dance floor at the
ship’s evening dance party.

Bermuda, ho! Finally, the ship arrived in Bermuda, and the Club got off the boat
at King’s Wharf, boarded a ferry to head over to the city of Hamilton, and met up with
Ari Lindlar (W’92), our fantastic Glee Club alumnus contact in Bermuda. After a brief
lunch, we headed over to perform for Ari’s company, ACE, where we had a very
enthusiastic audience. The Club then visited a few of Bermuda’s hot spot beaches and
tourist attractions before coming back to Hamilton to sing in the city’s Harbour Nights
Festival. With a huge crowd and a great audience, the songs were well-received and we
had a great time performing. Finally, the Club, tired and sun-kissed headed back to the
ship to get some sleep before a full day of enjoying the sights and beautiful weather of
Bermuda tomorrow.
