Have a TAU-rrific Week! 

10/14/2012

Hello lovely people who read Iota’s blog!

It’s Lynn again!

So 3 weeks ago, I had the honor of being named Tau of the Week. Basically, your sisters love on you all week, bring you brownies (thanks Christina), write you really sweet love notes (thanks Kim), have dinner with you (thanks Heather), send encouraging texts to you (thanks Hillary) and are just all around really sweet to you (thanks everybody). The other cool part of being named Tau of the Week is that you get to carry around Tau (the turtle) and take cute pictures with him. You should friend him on facebook (Tau TheTurtle).

Anyway, so here are some of my fun pictures from my adventures with Tau!

Haha. So Tau is a bit of a fatty. Here is he with food that everybody brought to Musical Bear Scouts since it was an “early” call time for us to get there (8:30)!

It was a rainy morning, but Tau is always ready to serve!

Here is Tau with Nicky who is really nervous about Musical Bear Scouts!

Here is Tau helping Nicky calm down, giving her a kiss to tell her it will be okay!

Here is Nicky and Tau after Musical Bear Scouts! Phew! That was hard work but so much fun!

So, that’s pretty much it! For more fun, go check out Tau’s facebook page!

Musical Bear Scout Service Project!

The ladies of Tau Beta Sigma - Iota had a blast last weekend helping Waco Girl Scouts earn their dance and music badges! The weather wasn't ideal, but Tau Betas aren't discouraged by a little rain (or a lot)! Shout out to Olivia, who escorted each Scout and their troop leader(s) under her umbrella, I’m sure they appreciated that :)

Picture
Once the girls were signed in they were separated into groups and we began the first of five required steps. Those earning their dance badges began by learning the stretches the Golden Wave Band does before every rehearsal. Emily, Lynn, and Kelsey made sure they were ready for what came next: Christina and Olivia, part of the Iota team whose step show earned first place at South District Convention, taught the Girl Scouts a simple routine they would later perform for the other troops. 

Picture
Meanwhile the Girl Scouts earning their music badges got to listen to Heather, Kathryn, and I play and teach the basics of bassoon, flute, and guitar. When the time came for questions, a girl (fourth grader) asked if I could play a C# minor! I was impressed.. Later, when Ashley and Allyson were listening to and explaining Beethoven and Mozart’s most famous compositions, a scout recognized one of the pieces and its composer. These Girl Scouts meant business! They were so smart.

After the first two steps everyone met in my church’s sanctuary to listen to our sponsor Dr. Rick Espinosa speak about his music profession at Baylor. The Girl Scouts were fascinated and a few even tried imitating his conducting! For the most part though, he emphasized how powerful music is and taught a little about it while we listened to the pieces he provided. I always thought that the pieces that touch you are those that are the most intricate, so I was surprised to find that a few simple notes can be repeated over and over again to make a beautiful piece of music. He may have been nervous (which made me feel better, knowing I wasn’t the only one afraid of speaking to a large group of ten-year-olds), but he did a fantastic job! Iota is very grateful he participated in this event.

After learning about these different styles of dance and music the groups of Girl Scouts, with help from Tau Beta, created their own dances and songs which they performed to conclude the event.

Planning this event was extremely stressful, but it was so rewarding when the Girl Scouts came over to hug and thank me. I know the other girls got lots of love too!

Projects Update :)

Hi! I’m Ashley Bird, and I am the Projects Chair this semester for Iota. I am in charge of all the fundraising. Our biggest fundraising that we do is during Parents Weekend; we sell shirts to the parents of the Golden Wave Band members. 

During the same time that we are selling parents weekend shirts, we also sell fleeces, hoodies and sweats for the members of the band. These are great to have when the weather starts to get cooler. This summer we also sold Preseason shirts (since college kids want a shirt for everything!), the shirts were a way to say “I survived preseason” and also a way to keep all the great memories that we all make during that week. 

Picture
This picture has nothing to do with my office, but I thought it was a really cool picture! Back to my office, I love designing all the shirts that we have sold. I am so blessed that I was selected for this office.  Thanks for reading about my office!!  SIC’EM BEARS!!!!

MLITB,

Ashley Bird :)
