The campus’s many musically talented students had yet another opportunity to perform, following last weekend’s Open Mic Night. “It’s been a music filled week!” said Brendan Seeley (’27), who, together with Naomi Pride (’28) and Michael DeIulio (’28), played a selection of traditional folk music, finishing with St. Mason’s Apron. “Half the fun of that one is the name,” he joked. Following their set, Mary Wassell (’25) and Therese Baker (’25) led a group of seniors in singing and playing guitar and fiddle.
Musical abilities weren’t the only talents students got to showcase; those who preferred recipes to sheet music entered the annual Irish Soda Bread Competition. Although it was a tough call, the prize ultimately went to Elizabeth Lind (’25), making her a two-time soda bread champion, after her first victory in 2021. “This is one of the reasons I love living in a small community like TAC,” said Natalie Peterson (’27). “Gatherings like this are so much more meaningful when everyone is a familiar face.”
