Phoenix Day 2

Upon awaking from what was surely a restful night for all of us...the club boarded the bus in anticipation of a great day in the greater Phoenix area. We made a short trip through the suburbs and easily found our Destination; with a Michigan flag hanging proudly on its facade, the home of Penny Papadopoulos called to us like the oasis in the desert that it was. The home had all the accommodations one could dream of, and our exceedingly gracious host made us all feel right at home. After lounging in the sun, a few rousing rounds of Beatles Rockband, and a fantastic meal, the club had to move on to our next adventure. Next stop: Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. We first had our sound check behind home plate of the gigantic stadium, after that, some clubbers explored downtown Phoenix, while others followed our Liaison down into the belly of the stadium where we were provided with our own locker room. A few men may now proudly say that they have played the official sport of Glee Club, Face, in a professional baseball stadium. We were finally called to take the field and sing our National Anthem. The crowd enthusiastically welcomed our performance and we spent the remainder of the game trying to bring a little more life to Phoenix athletics. After several failed attempts to start the wave, however, we just livened up the game through our many cheers borrowed from Ann Arbor Hockey, Football and Water Polo matches. The home team lost and we boarded the bus for our hotel where we spent our final night in the deserts of Arizona.
