"Tour is not for the faint of heart"

The title is a quote from Christy and how true it is! Tour can be tiring but so worth it. This particular tour was terrific in so many ways! Hopefully your singer has come home and shared their many wonderful experiences in NYC. I think one of the nicest things about tour is how we all grow closer together. Hopefully many of our singers and even chaperones will stay in touch while we are not in our regular season and before you know it we will all be meeting in our new studio to create beautiful music together that we can share with others! Thank-you again parents for trusting us with your singer and allowing them to experience something special!

Anything Can Happen When You Let It...

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
― quote on the Statue of Liberty

They did it! Allegro gave an exceptional performance as part of the Children's Festival Chorus at Carnegie Hall this afternoon. I even noticed that several audience members were moved to tears (I won't mention any names!) Today was the reward for all of their hard work.

After their performance we took a break before leaving on buses with the other choirs for our harbor tour. Although it was cold and rainy we still had a good time enjoying lots of food, music and dancing and views of the city from the water. We sailed past Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty - a beacon of light shining amidst the rain and cold. After, we gave each person $10 to find more food - most chose pizza. We have all done our fair share of eating while we were here!

Tomorrow we head home after a great time in NYC. All families are making choices as to how they wish to spend their final hours here. Some of us will wake up early to walk to the Today Show and Top of the Rock while others are sleeping in or shopping before heading to the airport for our return flight. See you soon!
