Newcomers' Party 2025

 


Newcomers' Party

Each year a party is held fairly early in the semester to attempt to acquaint the students with each other, especially the new students. Thus the Newcomers' Party to which all are invited. This year we had three-fourths of student body attending. The Activities Committee planned some pretty fun games like Rock, Paper, Scissors (above), Name Drop, Name Tag Guessing, Newcomers' Bingo, Minute-to-Win It games, and ending with Freshman Gladiator. Check out Prof. Gullerud's photo album to get a sense of the fun.

What Does Tour Mean To You?

Image
This year's Tour Choir members were asked to share what Tour means to them, and, although we can't fit all the responses here, they all had a similar tone. Some thoughts may remind you of your time in the Tour Choir. Feel free to share your thoughts. "Tour Choir is such a blessing. It is one of my favorite things I've done at Immanuel and is something I love looking forward too. I have made so many memories and I look forward to this as a trip of Christian fellowship and to help grow in my faith while worshipping with others. It is so special to be able to share the Word of God in such a way, and seeing how incredibly special this is to the congregations we visit." "Tour choir is an opportunity to personally grow in my faith as well as ministering to those who are in fellowship with us that we don't often get to see. Not only is it spiritually uplifting, but it is incredibly fun." "Tour Choir is easily the most meaningful experience I've had...

The Banquet & After Banquet

Image
The annual spring Banquet continues to be a exciting event for Immanuel students who either bring a date or attend with their friends. Back several years ago the parents decided to create a fun, entertaining After Banquet atmosphere for the students. The amount of work the parents go through is totally unbelievable! From finding a theme, creating decorations, getting suitable playlists, finding an emcee(s), rounding up gift prizes for students, and hosting fun games for the students to play that night, the number of hours spent is in the hundreds! This year's theme was "game shows" and thanks to the Game Show Network, most of the students recognized the games. It would not be surprising if next year's theme is already decided on.  Several albums have been shared by David & Nicole Lang and Marcy & Nate Gurgel. I'm hoping you are able to access these excellent photos and get a taste for an After Banquet Party. Album #1            Album...

Musical Journey #1

Prof. Schaller here. Interesting things can happen on the weekends at Immanuel. This past Saturday night I was participating in the Dunn County Northern Lights Chorus Annual Barbershop Show. I talked with college junior Joel Bernthal about the event and it went something like this:   Me:   Joel, do you want to go to a barbershop show tonight? Joel:   Alright. So we went. The first half of the show featured the chorus that I sing in doing songs about the old west:  Home on the Range, Don't Fence Me In,  etc. The second half of the program featured two professional barbershop quartets from Minnesota, Kordal Kombat and Tonality. After the show Joel and I went to the "afterglow" at the Whitetail Golf Course in Colfax. An afterglow is the barbershop equivalent of a cast party. Anyone is invited and there's food and drink and lots of singing until the building closes. The cool thing about the afterglow is that you get to rub shoulders with the guest artists. Before th...
