DAY 1 – 9 JULY: WCG/CHICAGO 2012 BEGINS!


Our trip to the World Choir Games and Chicago is finally here! :) Thanks to our wonderful TCC Tour families and Singers, check-in was a breeze!  Many movies, a few snacks, lots of pavement, and comfort bus rehearsals. We all received very cool cards from the YC Tour members, with their thoughts and advice for a great WCG experience.
                                          
We stopped for dinner at S&S Cafeteria; YC ate here just last week, and the staff remembered their great singing!  We sang for the generous manager and many grateful patrons.

After dinner, we hit the road for more movies, snacks, hills, beautiful skies, a rainbow, and gas stops. Thankfully, we were able to drive in great weather (but not without several slow traffic moments) through all 3 states until our arrival in Dry Ridge, Kentucky.

After some sleep at the Microtel (again, a referral from YC), we find ourselves a big step closer to the 2012 World Choir Games. Can’t wait for an exciting day tomorrow, checking in as participants, hanging out in the cool International Choir Lounge, meeting choirs from all over the world, and joining Bootsy Collins in the evening Parade of Nations!
