Home Sweet Home

The DGN Choirs enjoyed their last morning in NYC by participating in an "Up Close and Personal" workshop.  In this session, they had the opportunity to sit down and talk with two performers, Ian and Holli, about their experiences performing on Broadway.  (They got to see Ian and Holli perform in Sunday's performance of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying!)

The choir returned home Monday evening after a successful and educational trip!

Another Great Day in NYC

In addition to tours of Carnegie Hall & NBC Studios, the DGN Choirs had the opportunity to see another wonderful Broadway show, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and topped off the day with the viewing NYC from the "Top of the Rock!"

A Trip to Lady Liberty

The NYC Touring Choir began their morning with a trip to Ellis Island.  Though the ferry ride was windy, the experience was fantastic!

Singing & Sight-Seeing

The DGN Choirs continued their NYC Tour with a concert at St. John the Divine Cathedral - the largest cathedral in the world - followed by a walk through Central Park.  They completed the evening with a trip to John's Pizzeria for some NY style pizza, and a Broadway show - The Lion King.
