PGC Invades New Orleans 6-26-2008

Today was a monumental day in Girlchoir history. For the first time ever, the plane was on time and no one lost their luggage. Our luck turned, however, when we got out of the airport. Mrs. Westrick suffered a bad fall and hurt her leg. Luckily, she’s fine and soon will be good as new. We had a delicious dinner at The Grocery. To show our thanks, we sand the owner “Java Jive”, and the manager even took his cell phone out and taped us! Our concert went well. We opened our set with “Cantate Domino”, a Princeton Girlchoir favorite. “Cantate Domino” was followed by Bob Chilcott’s “The Swallow, “Barb’ry Ellen”, “Java Jive”, “Mood Indigo”, “Let It Shine”, “The Storm Is Passing Over”, and finally “Still I Rise”. Featured singers in “Let It Shine” were Elsa , Lizzy, Emily, Susanne, and Sydney. Ellie sang the beginning solo in “Still I Rise”, and other featured singers included Ginny, Rose, Maria, and Nitya. We briefly got to know the other choirs, but more of that to come! After the concert, the bus broke down at the church. Mrs. La Nasa brought us a special treat there, and in the end we all made it safely back to the hotel.
