PIU Days– Day 3– Mountains

SAMSUNG            The final day of PIU Days arrived on Sunday. It seems to me that every year the programs get PIU Days Har (1)bigger and better each night as each team tries to top the program of the night before. This year was no exception to that as the Mighty Mountains team closed PIU Days with their program. They presented a musical about how Humperdink Everyman decided to leave his “provincial town” and climb the mountain and find himself. He was confronted with a lot of different choices but found that he could not climb the mountain without the help of the Creator of the mountains. When he found God,he found himself. The play was a lot of fun and very different than anything I had ever seen before in PIU Days. Gandalf even showed up! Good job Mighty Mountains!

The afternoon began with the Sky team defeating Tehom to win the volleyball championship

Basketball ended in a 3 way tie as Tehom defeated Sky and the rain defeated both teams

But the sun did come out again to the delight of the fans

The program was set up in secrecy – only Pikachu peeked out

We knew we were in for something different when PIU Provost, Sam Mabini, began the program with the prologue to Shakespeare’s Henry V, followed by Scott, errr Humperdink, singing about leaving this provincial life

I guess he couldn’t buy what he needed to go to the mountains

There was a lot of singing about going up the mountain

Gandalf and Frodo Warned Humperdink not to go to the mountain

Humperdink met a Pokemon master, another character that I am not sure who she was and four power rangers on his journey

And some joyous dancing

There was a love interest, but that led to rivalry…

SAMSUNG            SAMSUNG

And violence, but we did have a WWE announcer to introduce the wrestlers

The Mountain “men” would not allow Humperdink to climb the mountain

SAMSUNG            SAMSUNG

Humperdink was saved when the voice of CS Lewis told him that he would find himself by finding Christ

SAMSUNG            SAMSUNG

Melvin sang about it and a Harnolx-angel led Humpedink to salvation at the top of the mountain

Then the big final number
