"Devos" A
hallmark of our Tiger Band Program - are our Weekly Devotionals/Spiritual
Moments [AKA "Devos"]. We start each week in this fashion, and it provides a reflective
moment and a respite from the normal, hectic pace of Scholar Life. "Devos"
were instituted for our Tiger Bands by our first "Spiritual
Advisor" Scholar Matthew [Matt Sturtevant] - several years ago. For the
next three years, our "Devos" were ably coordinated and led by
"Sister Susan" [aka Susan Reed]. For the next two years Devos
and our collective spiritual lives and growth were coordinated by the
much-beloved "Killer" [aka Emily Hales Bennett] During 2003-2004, our good friend
David Taliaferro assumed the mantle of Spiritual Advisor. Starting during
the 2004-2005 season, we
were downright giddy that Miss Kelly [aka Kelly Kays, G.R.O.E.] became
the Spiritual Leader for our Tiger Bands - a role which she filled through
the Spring of 2007. Spiritual Advisor for 07-08 was Elizabeth Simpson and
for 08-09 was Sara Clarke. From 2009-2011 the extraordinary Rebecca
Thomspon served as Spiritual Advisor for our Tiger Bands. During the course of the year, we look forward in
hearing readings and reflections from many of the Band Scholars. It must
be remembered that we look at music-making in the strict Baroque sense as
defined by Mr. J. S. Bach as a "Gift back to the Giver" -
music as a supreme celebration of the great gifts which we all enjoy. |
