July 11 - Washington, DC

The Kennedy Centre, Washington, DC














From the Kennedy Centre Performance















Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History















By: Stephanie Cranford

We all met at 8:15am at the Metropolitan Church and travelled to the Smithsonian Museum. We were there 45 minutes before the museum opened, so we split off into groups and went to Starbucks! When the museum opened we got to see things like dinosaurs, insects, meteors and even the Hope Diamond!

Mnay choristers got trapped outside during a huge thunder and lightning storm and we all got very wet. We then ate our bagged lunches on the bus and travelled to the Kennedy Centre.

At the Centre, we had our last sound and lighting check for the tour and we all had Subway for supper! The show started at 6pm and it was our best one yet. Everyone did a great job and our billet families loved it. For the 13 graduates from the Choir, this was our last performance of the Opera with Shallaway. We were all really happy with how the show went, and will miss it a lot. The show was webcast on the internet so many people watched it when they got home to their billet houses.
