Capital Singers Spring Tour: April 5-7

We love to travel and Capital Singers bus to New York City bi-annually. The next NYC trip will be in December of 2012, which is closer every time I look at the calendar! During years we do not travel to NYC we take a 2 night trip to either Orlando or Tampa. We’ve “adopted” several schools that we have visited repeatedly, and this year we are adding an exciting new school, the University of South Florida!

Our singers will be in a workshop with Dr. James Bass at USF and will also tour the school and new performing arts facility. We will be singing for his choirs and with his choir during the day on campus. Informal events like this are extremely rewarding and some of our best Capital Singer memories. There is a lot of relaxation built into this trip and I think you will find the students come home less tired than when they left! The hotel has an incredible indoor/outdoor pool that few can resist. The students are in suites, 6 girls in a suite and 4 or 5 guys in a suite.
