Baker Tree Music Festival
Saturday was an incredible day! I wish I had had time to write about it then or at least yesterday, but this weekend has been busy writing three papers and studying for a test — all of which are due today (as of now, two papers are handed in and the test is done).
Every year in the spring semester, usually the week before finals, Covenant has a music and art festival called Baker Tree. It happened this past Saturday, and it was an incredible day! The stage was set up on the steps of the chapel, and tables and chairs were set up on the chapel lawn. It was sunny and beautiful for the majority of the day. The music started playing around noon. Various Covenant students that had signed up to play took turns playing favorite songs – songs ranging from jazz songs to “Imagine” by John Lennon… to “Come on Ilene” …to “Burn” by Usher (performed by our very own Director of Student Development, Scott Hwang) …and a ton of other awesome songs. It lasted all afternoon and evening. The dining services brought dinner out to the chapel lawn and grilled fresh burgers for us as all 1000 students (give or take :) stood in line. It was just amazing to hang out with students and faculty, kick soccer balls around, listen to incredible music, and just take a much-needed break from studying.
Brendan James came to perform in the chapel that evening too. He has his first record coming out in June, and no doubt, he’ll be big in the next year or so.

mm… I’ve been on Brendan’s website quite a bit since last weekend. He’s definitely got some talent.
