Another great day.  The kids are doing really well and their first rehearsal with Mr. Dillworth was incredible.

The choristers had such a great day that Missouri is rewarding all of them with the ice cream social and dessert!


Here are the choristers getting ready to go into the pirate exhibit.  They are getting in the spirit by taking a photo with a pirate statue.

The museum worker made the kids sing him a song before they went in and they sang "fire's burning" round, which is a silly song.  They did a great job as usual.   I had a women approach me later to tell me how beautiful they sounded.  She was very impressed.

We wanted a picture of the choristers on this beautiful campus but because we are not used to so much sun all we got was a picture with closed eyes or hands over the faces.  You can really tell we are from the land of no sun!


Friday was a full day of rehearsal.  We had 8 hours of singing.  The choristers held up remarkably well.  Here is a picture of the little choristers getting ready.

Linda Newman sent a short video clip of the kids singing in a large group--I have emailed all of our touring parents the video.

Joyous choristers!

This always seems to be one of the kids favorite nights of tour - the night they are able to choose their own attire.  They all look great and are doing very well.

We are excited because tomorrow we are able to go to the red rock canyon theater and perform on the same stage as the Beatles and many other famous  singers.


Here are the kids during a tour of the federal reserve bank.  They are placed in front of a display of what 30,000,000 dollars would look like.
