At 3:30 pm on March 13, the ALHS choir students departed for New York City.
Day 1
Upon arrival in The Big Apple, choir students where bused into the heart of the city. Along the way, a brown tour bus from Texas sideswiped the leading ALHS bus, which resulted in the loss of the left rear-view mirror. After insurance policies were exchanged, the students arrived at the Birdland Jazz Club. Students dined while enjoying a live performance by Amanda Brecker. However, there was more than just diner and a show. Somehow, a paper napkin on a table without a candle started on fire. The flame was promptly extinguished by chaperon Susan Piper who quickly poured a glass of water on the flambeed napkin. When the show finished, the travelers had a group photo taken in Time Square. The group wound down their day of adventure by taking in the sights atop the Empire State Building.
