This past Saturday was the 42nd Annual Alumni Cherry Tree Massacre. Since I wrote a before post, I figured I would follow up on how it went.
It was very snowy... and icy... and cold. So, overall, the weather wasn't very good at all. This caused some problems. Most people that we invited didn't end up coming. It ended up being, my family, UNCLE LENNY, Aubrey's friend, two of my friends, and one of their moms. So a much smaller group than we are used to. Even though I would have LOVED to have more of our friends there, we all still had a really great time.
The show itself was really great. Along with our friends, I think three of the six groups canceled. We still had The GW Pitches, The GW Sons of Pitches, GU Superfood, and of course the Georgetown Chimes. Since there were only so many groups, one group of alums went up to perform as well.
Just like every other year, I so enjoy going to this show. Seeing a bunch of the chimes, meeting the new chimes and neos, being there with my family, listening to all the groups, everything about it is great! Each year it's always something I look forward to, and this year the experience definitely lived up to it's expectations.
I'm very happy that, even through the weather, the show still went on. From this point until next year, I will be waiting for Cherry Tree <3
Thanks for reading.

Pre - Cherry Tree Massacre
Tomorrow night is the 42nd Annual Alumni Cherry Tree Massacre. That is a show hosted by the Georgetown Chimes, an all male acapella group at Georgetown University. My dad was a Chime while he was in college, so we are now very involved with the chimes. My mom has been going to these shows ever since my dad was in college... That's a long time ;).
The chimes are a huge part of my life, and they have been for forever. Once a month, they have something called Chimes Night. It's a small show at a restaraunt in Georgetown called the Tombs. We really like Chimes Nights so we try to get to as many as we can.
Each year, the Chimes invite other college acapella groups to perform during the Cherry Tree Massacres. They got tons of auditions, but normally only five or six groups get invited to perform. So, only the best of the best.
For the past few years, we have been inviting a lot of our family friends to come with us to the show. We bring a lot of our friends from our pool, some neighbors, and some other close friends. Also, my cousins and aunts and uncles have come before. This year, just my Uncle Lenny is here, but he's the greatest so that's ok with me. (Although I do wish that more of my family could have come.) The first time they all came to the show, they were so impressed. So impressed, in fact, that they've continued to come every year since then.
Since our friends started to come with us, it became a tradition to host desserts at our house for everyone. That is also a really fun part of the night.
I'm very excited for this night!
I am expecting it to be a great show and a really fun night! Maybe after the show, I'll post a blog, on Monday, about how it went.

Christmas Chimes Night
Today is Wednesday, December 3rd. That also happens to mean Christmas Chimes Night was tonight.
The Chimes are an acapella group from Georgetown University. My dad joined the group when he attended Georgetown University in the 80's. But, it's the kind of group where if you were ever in it at one point, you will always be in it. The chimes have been a huge part of my life and definitely will be forever. We try to go to as many of their events as we can.
Once a month, they have a little show called "Chimes Night". The actives in the group perform at a restaurant called The Tombs, in Georgetown. Unfortunately, they are now scheduled on Wednesday nights at the same time as my dance classes. So, we don't get to go too often. But, we do try to make some, especially the "important" ones.
Tonight's was Christmas Chimes Night. It's a regular Chimes Night, but it's close to Christmas so they sing Christmas songs as well. At the very end of each Christmas Chimes Night, my dad leads everyone in song and dance to The 12 Days Of Christmas. It is so much fun!
After the show is finished, many people go upstairs to the Chimes House and hang out for a while. They normally sing more up there. We always bring some kind of dessert so that they HAVE to like us!
Merry (almost) Christmas!
