Mini-tour: Cedar City, Las Vegas, and more! Oh my!

We've had an eventful couple of days! We just arrived in Tuscon not a half hour ago, but riding a bus for a really long time is not the only thing we've been doing.

On Wednesday, we left the University at about noon and traveled to Cedar City, where we were hosted by Jackie Jackson's women's choir. They provided a fantastic meal for us, and then we performed in the Heritage Theater.

The concert went really well and was a great first tour concert for us! Wonderful prep for ACDA.

We stayed with fantastic host families on Wednesday night (thank you!!), then loaded the bus bright and early on Thursday morning to head to Las Vegas. After a fantastic lunch spearheaded by Marsha Borovicka, we met with the Las Vegas High School Concert Choir and Madrigals, under the direction of Janet Tyler. We had a great time clinicing with them and then performing in their theater.

After another wonderful concert, we had another great night with host families, and then took off this morning to head to Tucson. It was a long bus ride, but we made it safely! And not to make anyone at home feel bad, but we aren't missing the snow!

Tonight we're planning on rehearsing our ACDA program and then we get to go hear a concert by Chanticleer! We're very excited. Tomorrow, we perform for ACDA at 10:45---if you're at the convention, stop on by---and then we head to Phoenix.

We'd like to thank everyone for their hospitality so far. I would love to post pictures, but the internet here in the hotel is reminding me very much of the internet all over Europe; i.e., it doesn't work very well. :) I promise to post some pictures from the trip when we get home!
