Report From the Road, Day 2:
Orchestra Performs at Aldergrove SDA Church

The President's Page Blog is pleased Kendra Hill has agreed to submit regular updates as CUC's orchestra tours and performs through BC, Washington, Oregon and California. 

Sabbath morning the Canadian University College Chamber Orchestra  played for church at Aldergrove SDA Church. It was a bit of a challenge fitting everyone on stage, but as usual, we made it work. 

Rehearsal at the Aldergrove Church

After the concert and a potluck lunch, we headed for the Canada/US border. We were a bit worried, as there are a few international students in the orchestra, and one in particular who has had troubles before.  But despite our fears, the crossing went very smoothly, other than the fact that the border officials thought we were going to a funeral! God was with us in more than one way. We managed to get our veggies for supper across the border. If those had not made it through, that would have meant no food for the evening!

Our next stop was North Cascades SDA Church. We performed an evening concert, and were even requested to play an encore. We are spending the evening in the church’s apartments, and it looks as though a fun night is in order; game tables galore. Times like this are some of the most memorable of any tour.  Tomorrow we head for Seattle, and pick up our final four orchestra members who stayed behind for graduation.
