After a five hour bus ride to Glencoe, IL the 64 member choir consisting of 13-19 year-olds is slowly dispersUing to the generous, wealthy residents of this ritzy Chicago suburb. A 10:00am church service and then a delicious lunch are planned for us tomorrow. We are also planning on touring a botanical garden tomorrow, though Jean Marie and I will probably hang out here at the church to work on our music. The church (North Shore United Methodist) minister's brother in-law is supposedly a fairly good singer, so we asked for him to come help us with our Carmina solos... We're still pretty scared.
Tomorrow's dinner is also provided by this church. Followed by a second night with our host families. More later...
10:30pm Central - 6-20-09
Update from first night:
Well, I'm staying with Anthony (another counselor) and Cody (a sick camper with a fever). Lucky for me the neighbors have screaming fast wireless and I was able to move my bed out into the living room away from poor Cody. The couple is very nice (Nancy and John Haynor), it turns out Nancy is from Newton, IA. John used to be a professional trombonist - he even played on a STYX album.
