Here is my ICC page (Indianapolis Children's Choir).
First are just some shots from rehersals and stuff.
At the top is Leeann, Kelly, and Kathryn. Next to them are all of the graduates at the graduate banquet (you graduate in ninth grade, a very sad time). We were all singing "Seasons of Love" (ugh) with DaRon conducting us. He did a good job. We were pretty good. Most other people cried. Below that is Mr. Leck conducting us at a retreat (I think.) Next to him, in the middle of the second row, is Nicholas. Leeann is on the far left of that row. Below Leeann is a photo of Leeann, Me, and Amelia at the graduation banquet. I don't think any of us cried there, but we did at the Choral Festival (where all the choirs and a summer choir camp sing) the next day. It was nice. Good food at the banquet! That was the first meal I had ever seen Leeann eat. (I mean, in Paris Leeann only ate the bread! And it was rock-hard, too. Yuck). Next to that is me hugging Mrs. Dwyer, my conductor a long time ago. It was at the graduation banquet, too, when we were getting our certificates and medals.
Next are some photos of me in South America and New York, my tours from 1999 and 2000. The top left one is me, Laura Galliher, and Sarah Rumely at the Statue of Liberty. Next to that is my group in front of our sign at Carnegie Hall in NYC, where we sang a concert with these other little-kid choirs (whom I hate to say were really not good....) Below the Statue of Liberty is the person who played Ariel in Broadway Footloose. She was AMAZING! That was my favorite part of the whole tour. The photo under Carnegie Hall is a little portion of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was really cool and really colorful. Below that is a picture of our group on Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There was this big statue of Jesus called Cristo Redemter (Christ the Redeemer). It was awesome, and people come from all over the world to see it. It was huge! You could see it from the bottom of the mountain. You had to get there by a cable car that went from the top of a small mountain to Sugarloaf. Below that is a typical scene in Ouro Preto, Brazil. All the streets are cobblestone. I think that it is something like the oldest town in Brazil or the Americas or something. I really liked that. It was one of my favorite parts of the South America Tour. There was this soapstone fair where people made stuff out of soapstone and they sold it for really cheap. I got lots of stuff there. I loved it.
Here are some more of my own photos from Paris, where we just went this summer:
The top left photo is all of my group and a few others, or in short all the ICC members that were on our plane. We had just about ten singers on the flight. The others each had about 35 or so. Ours was really small. I think I would rather it had been bigger (more peeps from ICC), but oh well. The photo next to that is Mr. Leck and me at Montmarte, the little town-type-thing on the hill down from the gorgeous Basillica of Sacre-Coeur. I loved that place! Below that is Amelia at the Louvre Museum. She always makes funny faces in photos. No, seriously, always. Next to Spahmelia is the whole choir in front of Notre Dame, possibly my favorite part of the tour. I loved it because (like Heather said when she saw a cool postcard I had) "it's got flying buttresses!" It was just beautiful, a lot cooler from the back. Below that is Leeann, me, and Kelly getting ready for the tour banquet. Next to that is us in front of the Eiffel Tower. It was really cool. Next to that, if you can make it out, is Maestro John Nelson, our awesome and extremely talented conductor. I really liked him. He taught us so much, and was just really nice.
OK so then I was in IYC (Indianapolis Youth Chorale) for one year, last year, but now I'm not doing IYC because I'm in King's Court at school, and I'm just too busy. But it was a great 6 years!!!
