The link above is a link to the facebook video of RoF's last performance of "Yesterday." The FB video is "public" so you should have no problem accessing it. Enjoy! =)

The past couple of weeks have been very busy for RoF. The 2nd half of the spring semester is performance season, and we've been very busy!
But in the midst of this busy, chaotic schedule, RoF has a big announcement! Rhythm of Faith and Penn State University will be hosting the Fall 2011 Gospel Jam! Gospel Jam is an annual event that brings together various Christian A Capella groups from the east coast for a weekend of music, fun, and fellowship! Last semester, RoF was blessed to go to Johns Hopkins University for the 2010 Gospel Jam, which they named "Jam More in Baltimore". We, along with 10+ other groups, met together at JHU and attended music workshops, did street singing, and ended the weekend with an evening concert that showcased every group in attendance. It was a lot of fun, and RoF is so excited to be hosting the next one!
We've sent out invitations to about 20 groups across the east coast, including some of the groups that I have featured in my blogs here. We are planning on hosting about 12 groups, so it'll be a first-come, first-serve basis. We've heard back from two universities, and we're happy to announce that Carnegie Mellon University's "Joyful Noise" and Johns Hopkins University's "Adoremus" will be attending.
Rof is currently planning many exciting things for next semester's Gospel Jam. Our group's officers are currently in the planning stages for creating icebreakers to housing 120+ college students. Please cheer us on and give us your best wishes in completing this giant task successfully! ^^
Also, last year's Gospel Jam was creatively called "Jam More in Baltimore" as I mentioned above. We're trying to think of some creative names that we could incorporate with "Penn State," "Happy Valley," "PSU," and etc. Any suggestions?
And lastly, I'd like to say hello to the blogging world as Rhythm of Faith's new music director for the next academic year. I'm in the process of being passed down the RoF wisdom from the current music director, and I'm so excited! I can't honestly say that I'm not nervous... I'm worried that I won't be able to handle the time and work committments that being an officer of a club requires... But I'm willing to try my best!
Until next time,
Joy

P.S.
Gospel Jam will be held on November 5th, so save the date if you're interested in listening to some fine A Capella!
