Well today started off wet! It was raining lightly on us all day but that did not stop us from enjoying New York! We started the day off by going to New York University to have workshops with professors their. They were great to work with and both the band and the choir did a great job! I feel that this is one of the best things about going on a trip! To be able to get feedback from another musician and work with a professional is so beneficial for the students!
After getting done with the workshops we loaded the bus and went to Wall Street. We were able to get a bite to eat and then travel over to Ground Zero. These students are getting such a great opportunity to see some of the major parts of history!
We then loaded a cruise to view the Statue of Liberty! This was so empowering to see where many people came to America! After the Statue of Liberty we went to Ellen's Stardust Diner where we were serenaded while we ate. This restaurant is located at the heart of Time's Square. We then looked at the beautiful fountain right near Juilliard. This is a famous school known for the fine arts. Only 2 of every 1000 applicants get excepted! After our bellies were full and we saw Juilliard, we took the Subway...yes the Subway to Macy's Department Store where they were having their Spring Flower Show. Some students even saw spiderman.....After taking in the view we loaded the buses for the hotel.
Although we wish for better weather tomorrow it definitely has not slowed us down! Like I said earlier...everything in life is what you make it. Make the best of everything you do! Off to bed for me...I will keep you posted on the busy day tomorrow!
