Mormon Tabernacle Choir Trip a Great Success

It was my great privilege to participate in the most recent tour of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir as a singing member of the choir. We visited several midwestern cities and sang concerts in Cincinnati OH (with the Pops), St. Louis MO, Des Moines IA, Omaha NB, Kansas City MO, Norman OK, and Denver CO. We sang for a few small groups of senior citizens and visited some historic sites on the way.

The trip lasted about 13 days and involved about 320 singers, 60 orchestra members, 150 guests, 25 crew members, and all of the associated luggage and other equipment required for the trip. We began by taking a flight to Cincinnati and took 11 buses to the other venues as well as three luggage trucks, four semis with full-size trailers for equipment, and four support vehicles. The tour ended at Denver with a concert at the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater.

We returned to Salt Lake City the next day. What a trip it was! This kind of trip is not a vacation, but a rigorous effort every day, but what a great experience.
