DAY 2 -10 JULY: ARRIVAL AT THE WORLD CHOIR GAMES!



Today we left our old Kentucky home to head to the WCG. After registering at the Duke Energy Center we spent the day meeting other choirs, rehearsing for tomorrow's concert at the Corbett Theater, and getting the lay of the land. This evening included the World Choir Games opening ceremonies, which will is sealed  with a Parade of Nations with Parade Marshall, Bootsy Collins!!

The pictures from the day really speak for themselves!
