Choir Tour Updates:
First Leg of the Tour to Newfoundland is a Success

(The President's Page Blog is pleased Clement Morton and Rachel Slaunwhite have agreed to submit regular updates as CUC's choir tours and performs through eastern Canada.) 

The 2013 Tour of the Canadian University College Choral Union has officially begun!  For many of us the day started out with last minute packing, and a scramble to make it to the bus.  We waved goodbye to the graduates, friends and family as we departed.

Members of the choir who are graduating this year did not leave with us on Sunday.  They will be joining us tomorrow night flying into St. John's, NFL at approximately 8 pm local time.  Unfortunately, the majority of our tenors are also graduates!  Please hurry and join us soon!

We arrived at the airport in good time, and most of us had no problems getting checked in and through security; but of course, as always, a few of us encountered some issues. Some overweight bags, extra bags, and a damaged bag caused some problems but, thanks be to God, that all turned out well and we were soon well on our way to our first destination - Ottawa, Ontario.

Upon arriving in Ottawa we were asked to remain on board the aircraft as we waited to embark on the last leg of our journey.   Two-and-a-half hours after take-off from Ottawa we landed safely in St. John's, gathered our luggage and hopped on a bus bound for the St. John's Seventh-day Adventist Church.  There we were greeted by a nice gentleman who let us into the church and showed us to where we were to stay.

We're now all settled down and will try to get some sleep so that we're "bright-eyed and bushy-tailed" for the day awaiting us in the morning.
