Today we traveled to sunny Sarasota for the second concert of our tour!

We got out nice and early and bused from West Palm Beach to Sarasota, stopping along the way for a nice lunch at Publix!

We finally made it to our beautiful concert venue in the mid-afternoon, where we rehearsed before our concert. We had a wonderful concert and an outdoor reception, where we got to know some of our guests and alumni!

After our performance, we bused back to our hotel and had a little karaoke session on the way. After a long day of travel, we met our wonderful homestay, Joanne, who welcomed us into her home. We got to relax by the pool and get to know Joanne, and turned in early to prepare for a day of exploring Sarasota tomorrow.
