Hello from Denver! After a very early start and a surprisingly enjoyable flight on Southwest
(for both us clubbers as well as everyone else on board) the Michigan Men's Glee Club has made it safely to Denver.
Our first destination was the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Here we got a chance to take in the academy's scenic campus, learn more about cadet life at the that academy and get our first chance to take in the amazing Colorado Rockies' scenery. For many clubbers this was their first time out west and in mountanous terrain in general, certainly an entirely different landscape than Michigan. We culminated our visit by singing a few songs in the Air Force Academy Chapel, a truly unique and beautiful building that we all enjoyed getting to learn more about.
Following the academy we briefly visited the Garden of the Gods, a collection of towering red sandstone formations with a snow capped Pikes Peak in the background. Whoever hadn't fallen in love with the Colorado scenery by this point had certainly joined the bandwagon.
The day concluded with a gathering of hosts and clubbers at a pizza restaurant in the Denver suburbs. The food was delicious and free (thank you alums who helped cover this!) and everyone enjoyed the chance to relax and sing some songs with everyone in attendance. It's safe to say that tour is off to a great start.
