so here's the deal...

 Choir Tour next year...
 Choir Council would like to know opinions 
of those planning on going on Tour next year.

Here are the options:

San Francisco, California:

We would get to walk the Golden Gate Bridge

See Alcatraz

Go to Six Flags

And go on a Dinner Cruise around the Bay 


Washington DC:
(has pretty much been voted out because of price
 but if you're interested here's what we'd do)

Go to the Museum Mall

Sing at the Lincoln Memorial

Sing at the Capitol Building

See a play at Ford's Theater
(where Lincoln was shot for those who don't know history)

See the Holocaust Memorial

It'd really be a cool trip, but we want to involve as many members as possible


Anaheim, California:

Stop in San Diego for one day and go to Sea World:


or instead of Sea World...

 Universal Studios for a day


Disneyland for two full days
it's pretty much required in Anaheim


Dinner Near the Beach

Vegas for Buffet Lunch on the way home
(Probably at Rio)

Prices:
We only have really, really rough prices:
 Anaheim and San Fransisco are about the same as this year $650ish
 DC would be around $1000-$1500

Let me, or any other Choir Council member, know what you think!

The Happiest Kids On Earth

You see this face?

This is the face of a girl who did not want to be at school today.
Why's that you might ask...
Probably because she wanted to be in Disneyland playing with the coolest kids in town.


As you all well know I went on Choir Tour this past week to "The Happiest Place on Earth"
And even with the daily sunburns and my lovely bruise it was one of the most amazing weeks(:

Let's start at the beginning:
We headed off from PG on Tuesday night.
The bus ride was long and tiring, especially since I have trouble sleeping in buses and not to mention Bus 1 broke down in the very early morning allowing 23 more people on each bus but hey it's not like we were going to get anymore sleep anyway.

First Day in DiSnEyLaNd
Oh my it was the best!
I got to spend time with my friends from all the choirs (since I had to perform last)
Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Making Wishes, Pineapple Soft Serve, the whole enchilada! 

(we wish for Peeta)
Then listening to A Capella?
So Good.
I love them

Remember how I love my friends?


Pretty sure I hung out with these kiddos most of the trip.

Thursday:
California Adventures for most of the day.
Well let's just say I'm a klutz.
And an idiotic one at that.
Good thing my friends are so kind to me even when I horribly fail at jumping over chains.
Look at that thing... gorgeous huh?

Dinner Cruise?
Oh my, so amazingly fun.
good food, the ocean, dance parties, and not to mention Prom asking and answering!
It was an adventurous day.

Friday:
Workshops and Festival.
The most AMAZING Festival.
All of our choirs sounded spectacular, and not just from PG (even though I'm a bit bias.)
Other Utah schools AF and Orem did SO GOOD. 
I live in such a talented state!

Saturday:
All day in the parks?
I think yes.

And the awards ceremony?
I was shaking.
Two 100's from the judges?
Yes.
First time it's happened in Disneyland?
Yes.
Swept the board?
Triple Yes
Chamber got first, A Capella got 3rd (they competed against two Chamber choirs and they were only a point away from first, and Advanced Women's got 1st)
Oh and Best Overall Choir?
Yes.
That is why we're "The Happiest Kids on Earth" as the title clearly states.

It was the greatest night of my life, I don't think I have ever been so happy as I was at that moment with some of my closest friends.

Sunday:
Longest bus ride ever. 
But super fun.

Well until next year... See ya real soon Disneyland!

T minus 27 (hours) ish

Sorry to all of you who are jealous about not going to Choir Tour.
I just can't hold in my excitement!
I feel like this




Yes, I feel like a little kid every time I even think about it!
It's in one day.
One day!

Soon I'll be hanging with some of the coolest kids in the school at "The Happiest Place on Earth"

I will post back next Monday with my magical adventures and any more gloating moments I might have.
