I am happy to know that you have applied to be a member of the Class of 2023 at The Citadel and would like to share with you and your family about a very special event for all who will matriculate this August.
For FORTY-ONE YEARS the Cadet Chaplain has sponsored “The Gathering” on matriculation weekend. A service for all religious faiths, “The Gathering” is held to introduce our incoming freshmen to the many campus pastors and religious activities at the Citadel. This year’s Gathering will be held at 5:30 p.m. Friday, August 16th in the historic Summerall Chapel and will be followed by a reception and an opportunity to meet with the campus ministry coordinators of your own faith group as well as our many non-denominational leaders. If you are able to attend, please let us know at (843) 953-5049 or via email at lsijtsma@citadel.edu
Shape Note Singing
Date: Wednesday
Time: 18:00-19:00
Place: Summerall Chapel
Shape-note singing is a traditional style of music-making that originated in the American colonies and developed in the Southern United States during the 19th century. The music is entirely a cappella, and there are no rehearsals or performances; the group meets solely to make music and to enjoy fellowship. This group sings music primarily from two tunebooks, the Southern Harmony (published in 1835 in Spartanburg) and The Sacred Harp. For those unfamiliar with this style of music, a YouTube playlist containing several examples can be found by scanning the QR code below. For more information contact Mitchell Stecker (astecker@citadel.edu) or Stephen Jones (sjones3@citadel.edu).
