May Day Carol

"I`ve been a-wandering all the night
And the best part of the day
Now I`m returning home again
I bring you a branch of May"


May Day Carol written by James Ployhar performed at the 2011 Dorian Band Festival on Sunday, February 27, 2011. Performing is the Luther College Varsity Band, directed by Frederick Nyline.

Play!

"None but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents.Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Coffee's On

The House On Mango Street

"But the house on Mango street is not the way they told it at all. It's small and red with tight steps in front and windows so small you'd think they were holding their breath. Bricks are crumbling in places, and the front door is so swollen you have to push hard to get in. There is no front yard, only little elms the city planted by the curb. Out back is a small garage for the car we don't own yet and a small yard that looks smaller between the two building on either side. There are stairs in our house, but they're ordinary hallway stairs, and the house has only one washroom."
