Preparation has already been underway for this incredible journey. These outstanding students gave up seven hours over the past two days in order to rehearse for the Music In The Parks Choir Festival Saturday. Not only did the kids show up on two days off from school, but they braved the heat to get the job done!
Within 24 hours, 41 Nixa Choir students and 11 chaperones will have traveled over 500 miles through the night. We will literally begin our journey tonight in the Ozarks and wake up in the morning to the glittering skyline of Chicago. I hope we get some sleep on the bus because we will hit the ground running once we arrive! This trip is so jam packed with exciting things to do....if you blink, you might miss it! (For any of you who want a more specific itinerary, I have posted a link at the bottom of this blog.)
Here is a quick rundown of where will be going in a mere four days:
- The Museum of Science and Industry
- Ed Debevic's Restaurant
- Chicago Symphony Orchestra Concert
- Wendella Boat's Chicago River Architecture Tour
- Wrigley Field - Cubs vs. Cards! (Go Cards! Sorry Cubs fans......)
- Medieval Times Feast & Tournament
- Music In The Parks Choir Competition
- Six Flags Great America
- John G. Shedd Aquarium & Oceanarium
- Water Tower Place
- Magnificent Mile
- John Hancock Observatory
- Andy's Jazz Club
- Blue Man Group Performance
Phew!!! I need to catch my breath just reading that.
It's a good thing we will have at least a few moments to recuperate at the beautiful Hotel Indigo. Here are a couple of pictures to give you an idea of our first rate accommodations.

Is it really possible to do all this in just four days? I'm sure willing to give it a try. And, in the capable hands of our tour escort, Jeffrey Worman, I know that this will be an unforgettable trip.
Over the next five days, there will be updates from me, several students, and even our tour escort as we enjoy every moment of this adventure. We hope you enjoy a little taste of "Chi-town" vicariously through this blog. You won't want to miss it!
Come back soon!
