Dear Mom, Dad, and Audrey,

Love you! See you soon!

Hi,
We just finished the Choir Games. We got gold! It was so fun! When they called our name half of the choir started crying. The Closing Ceremony was so cool. We got to sing "Defying Gravity" with Idina Menzel. Tonight we are going to Chicago at 1:30 in the morning. At first I thought it was a typo. Wish us luck!

Mom, Dad, & Alana--
How are you doing? Yesterday was amazing. We won the level two gold certificate (we didn't get a medal because we competed in the Open Category) and Idina Menzel sang at the Closing Ceremony. Tonight we are going to Chicago, which I'm super excited about. Please remember to bring more clothes, my phone (and charger) and my iPod (if you found it) with you to Chicago. How is Atlanta?
I love you and can't wait to see you (most of you) soon,
Nell




Hi Mommy!
We have had a great time here in Cincinnati! Today is our last day here and we're going to be at many museums. We'll be getting on a train at 1am tonight! How are Zachary and Benson doing? Did you hear we got a gold diploma? I hope you're doing well. I can't wait to get to Chicago!
Love,
Joey S (boy)




Dear Parents,
 Here is a diary of what we did. I enjoyed our trip a lot. Yes, I have black socks and would like a volleyball camp!

Monday--we rode the bus until we reached the MicroTel. I slept well

Tuesday--We checked into WCG and met a Russian group called Apelsinchik (funny orange). I like our hotel. I bought a WCG fedora.

Wednesday--Bill was mad because I woke at 6:00. He thought it was 7:00 and told us to rush, but then he realized iw was 6.
We competed with our four songs today. A judge cried during Frobisher Bay. We met a group from Northern Kentucky and they were nice. We had amazing food provided by WCG.

Thursday--We woke up at 7:40 and went to breakfast. We met a Jamaican group called Braata and a group called Voices of Unity. They taught us "Find the Rhythm" and the cup game I <3 Market Garden!!!

Friday--We went to the lounge and played, then we went next door to Market Garden again. I got a spray bottle AWESOME!

Saturday--We had an early breakfast and went on the Metro to US Band Arena WE GOT A GOLD DIPLOMA!! We went shopping and ate at Skyline Chili. I liked my BLT salad. Feel sorry for those who ate too much chili!
