Up before noon?!? 😱
Yesterday was our earliest day of the trip. We had to be on the bus and on our way at 8:30 a.m., and I was shocked and pleasantly surprised that we actually accomplished that! We drove to Vancouver, WA (just over the Columbia River from Portland) to Union High School, which has an amazing music program, and which hosted us the last time we were here, in 2012.
They don't look bad for 9:00 a.m.
Each of our hotel rooms has an iron. Evidently no one knows how to use one...
We sang (pretty darned well!) for groups of students from Union and Mountain View High Schools, and we got to hear three of their men's ensembles. Each school has a junior and a varsity men's ensemble! The Union HS Varsity Men evidently have to wear hoodies (as did pretty much all the other students we met!). 🤣
One of the men's groups from Mountain View HS wore their choir t-shirts under their hoodies.
Quantum, our "official" photographer, doesn't seem to crave the other side of the lens.
After our visit to Union HS, we hopped back on the bus and headed to Wy'east Middle School, where Garnet Hayes, our hostess-with-the-mostest in Portland/Vancouver, introduced us to her choirs. The guys decided to warm up with the kids, but they were a little freaked out by hearing so many changed men's voices. 🤣
They sang for us, we sang for them, they asked adorable questions, and a good time was had by all!
We returned to our hotel, and the guys spread to the four corners of the earth, not to be seen again until Tuesday...
