San Francisco and Fresno

from David Magbee:

Tour is going great! There is great morale on the bus. The guys often break into spontaneous song to past the time and raise spirits as we travel. The concerts have been having a resounding affect on the audience. We are often approached after concerts and awarded with great praise about our performances. The hosts are continually hospitable and we are continually making contacts and requested to come back to visit. The morning performance today at Fresno Pacific University was only two songs long, but received great praise. There was much talk of students wishing to see us perform a longer set. It was also nice to see some familiar faces from the college on development trips to the area.

The previous day in San Francisco was also a great time. We had the honor of being toured around the city a little bit and treated to lunch at San Wong by the wonderful Vance George, GC alum and Grammy-winning Director Emeritus of the San Francisco Symphony Chorus. The group also visited the Golden Gate bridge, as well as a few areas for our popular photo-ops with the Golden Gate as our backdrop. It was a pleasant time spent in San Francisco. Not to mention the fantastic organ demonstration and the power of the acoustics in Grace Cathedral, where we had the honor of singing to the well-receiving public.

Tour continues on to Pasadena Mennonite, the former home congregation of our delightful new president Jim Brenneman. We're going strong and enjoying ourselves a great deal. Well, now it's time to return to our call-response bus singing.
