<p>We attended this with D – can’t believe it was 4 years ago!!! But, things have changed – there were no tickets; everyone just piled into Wait Chapel. The above info makes it sound as if overflow crowds will be able to watch it in other places on campus via simulcast. Can’t remember if it was mandatory for D – it may have been, but we wanted to attend anyway, so it was just on our schedule for the parent part of Orientation.</p>
