Belief sings out on campus Group of musicians gather, give comfort under the Campanile By Cole Komma Ames247 writer
The carillon tolls 9 p.m. Wednesday. The students gathered beneath the Campanile let their voices ring out to match the toll, all
conveying a similar message. Before the guitars begin, black folders snap open and pages turn. “Let’s do this song,” a voice cries, and then the harmonies begin to ring the deepest part on one’s eardrum. “This is purely for people who want to just worship,” said Brendan Bartels, sophomore in biochemistry. The small group of musicians met on campus and found a mutual love of worship music. Since then, the members chose
to simply meet once a week and take some time to relax and play their favorite music. Bartels has been with the small group of students since the its inception. “We started playing on our floor, in Friley window’s,” Bartels said. “Then we gradually moved out to the Campanile.” Ryan Schneider, sophomore in criminal justice and one of the group’s guitarists, said the reason behind the group is “very simple.”

Orchesis I Dance Company will have auditions for fall 2012 this Thursday. Auditions will be from 7 to 9 p.m. in Studio 196 in the Forker Building. The group is asking people to arrive early to fill out the necessary paperwork and get an audition number. The group will cover ballet, modern and jazz, along with improvisational and vocal exercises. Audition material will be provided, which will include a dance taught at the audition.
“We’re here to praise Jesus and to give glory to him,” Schneider said. The sight of all the musicians could be a little overwhelming to some, but many find comfort at the Campanile, including Lauren Perila, freshman in early childhood education. Last Wednesday marked her first time visiting the site. “I live in the Towers and a girl on my floor texted me and said: ‘Come worship with us tonight,’” Perila said.
