Day 7

Our last official day of tour is complete! We started off our day by eating breakfast at the hotel in Winston-Salem and hopping on the bus to Greensboro, North Carolina, where we stopped at a local mall to kill some time. Members of the club walked around the area and went shopping for clothes, food, and other things, including extra black bow ties for the group. Some members of the group saw a movie at a nearby theater; it was a challenge walking that far in the hot sun! 
At 2:30 we left for the hotel and grabbed our concert attire before heading to West Market Street United Methodist Chirch, our final performance space. We warmed up in their beautiful sanctuary, filled with wooden railings and stained glass windows, and proceeded to another room to have dinner, which was pasta and salad provided by the church. Our concert began at 7:00, and went very well! Several alumni were in attendance, including the host of the event and a recent graduate, Tom Diehl. We also received many donations and sold several CDs, which we are extremely grateful for. Afterwards, we went back to the hotel and reviewed the week, talking about what went well with our concerts and all the experiences we had together. Please join us on April 16 for our spring concert at the First Baptist Church of Pittsburgh, and thank you for your continued support of the Glee Club! It's been an honor serving as Tour Manager this year and I look forward to what the rest of the spring brings.
