2011 Holidays and Roadtrip to Atlanta!
Last month, the Chimes were engulfed in a whirlwind of performances for the holiday season. We performed in a variety of venues for a wide range of events, including cocktail parties and diplomatic receptions. Our two most prominent gigs were for Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The Vice President hosted a dinner for families of Secret Service agents, while the Secretary of State requested our performance for her annual holiday reception for the diplomatic corps (including over 150 ambassadors from around the world). Check out the Secretary of State’s remarks at the Reception! We greatly enjoyed performing at all of our gigs, and we look forward to doing it again next year.
After a relaxing winter break and the first week of classes, the Chimes headed down to Atlanta, Georgia, with another a cappella group from campus, Georgetown Superfood. On Saturday night, we performed for the Winter Gala of the Georgetown Club of Georgia. We would like to thank Superfood for inviting us and Heather Fenton and Richard Ossoff for being great hosts for the weekend.
