so close.

Hi! :) I'm Jen, a graphic-journalism major, staff-writer for the Grand Views, and a soprano in the Grand View Choir. In approximately three days, the choir will be departing Des Moines for an epic journey throughout the midwest, and although not quite as epic as Frodo's journey to Mordor, this will be an experience worth documenting. I'll be here to post something everyday, from photos to videos to concert reviews to life anecdotes.

We'll be on tour from March 16-25. For those interested in coming to any of our concerts, or anyone who just wants to stay updated on the whereabouts of the choir, here's the 2012 tour schedule:
