Mountain Affair
Friday night was the night the entire Covenant community had been awaiting for since last year’s grand Mountain Affair. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what Mountain Affair is, allow me to give you a brief explanation.
Mountain Affair is an annual performance that Covenant holds for students who have outstanding talents - may that be in the art of break-dancing, singing, dancing, or playing any number of musical instruments… from the violin to the piano to the electric guitar to the trumpet. Anyone is allowed to audition (this year brought over 100 students who auditioned), and a select few are chosen to actually perform. This past Friday at 8:00 p.m., the final eleven people/groups who made the audition performed at the annual Covenant College Mountain Affair.
The doors to the chapel opened around 7:15 p.m. People pushed their way through the crowds to find good seating. To give you an idea, the Chapel can fit approximately 700 people. It had 1000 people crammed into the actual Chapel building, while another 200-300 students and people sat on the Chapel lawn watching the performance on a live screen. The performances began at 8:00 p.m. and continued on until 10:00 p.m.
The night was incredibly beautiful and well-done. There were three winners who took home cash prizes of $750, $250, and $100… in order of 1st to 3rd place. But after talking to several of my friends who performed in the contest, apparently everyone had an amazing time. Just the opportunity to perform in Mountain Affair alone seemed to be a blessing and incredible experience.
