       Beginning the final day in the Concrete Jungle, choir students arrived at a United Methodist church to perform their whole concert as a prelude to the congregation’s church service. Afterward, the students went on a walk to find the buses and load them to ride to Chinatown and Little Italy. When they arrived they went to a restaurant for lunch in Little Italy known as IL Palazzo. After lunch, students had an hour and a half of free time to be in Chinatown or Little Italy.

         Choir students then loaded the buses again, and were supposed to be taken to the Brooklyn Bridge to walk on it and see the sights, but weather caused some complications, so instead students were drove to the 9/11 memorial. Before entering the memorial, students were brought through a security check, and then told what they can or can’t do in the memorial.

        After an hour or so at the memorial, the students trekked along to Wall Street for sightseeing and hot dog stands. The choir was then brought to the subway once again to be taken to their next big event, a dinner cruise. The subway however, did not arrive at the cruise, it arrived about 2 to 3 miles away, or in New York measurements, 15 or so blocks. After a long walk, the students finally arrived on the cruise ship, along with 3 other high schools, one of them from Wisconsin. The dinner cruise lasted from about 7 PM to 10 PM. After the long exhausting dinner cruise of dancing and sightseeing, choir students boarded the bus and were ready for the long 20 hour drive home.
