day four: st. joe

The Grand View Choir is in Missouri -- the state, not the state of mind.  In fact, they're really having a wonderful time.  After our extended stay in Iowa City, we made the approximately four hour drive to First Lutheran Church in our first city in another state - St. Joseph, Missouri: a nice town with a lot of great history to its name. We were really feeling good about the space when practicing. At intermission, all the choir members seemed to be feeling pretty good, and murmurs of 'this is the best we've done so far' could be heard (and definitely echoed in my own thoughts) throughout the choir during intermission.
More updates on concerts will be on the way!

Here are some photos from our lovely stay in Missouri:

It's become somewhat of a tradition on spring tour.
