Day 12- Ezekiel Jaramillo *Los Ganadores!!!*

Today was an incredible day. We started this morning with an amazing breakfast at our hotel that we are staying at after our breakfast. We walked down to a local thing. Theater, in which our privates aura presentation was held at this A. War ceremony, we were informed that we placed seconds in the coral music, popular category. And first, in the choral music universal category Period it is so amazing to not only represent the United States of America, but most importantly, yeah, Arizona as a state and even more specifically flax f Arizona, and it university of northern Arizona period the public ceremony was later. Tonight and we were able to perform 2 pieces from our sets because we were you placed twice in the competition. It was a very emotional time. And this being my last concert with shrine at the ages, specifically, I was so moved and so emotional and so grateful for this experience. I'm glad that we were able to impact people's lives. Through our music and be able to touch hearts, minds and be recognized for our ability to bring people together and to bring people to unity, and to help them feel things that they don't usually feel.

Day III -- Camara XXI, Jackets, and Milanesa Fun!

 Hi all, my name is Mia Murray, and I am one of Shrine's sopranos. I am so proud and excited to have served as this choir's president during an international travel year, and oh boy, have we made the most of every day here so far!  After the first sleep in a bed after my first EVER flight, it's no surprise that me and my accountabilibuddy, Bailey, slept in a little bit before our 9am call in the lobby for breakfast. We grabbed some traditional Argentinian snacks and some jugo to sip on our way out for our NAU-only rehearsal.  Shrine Subway Alert! We are navigating our way through the public transportation one trip at a time. Every stop we got off on today had a unique aesthetic, and we even got to experience some subway performers, both on the cabs and while waiting.  Once off the subway, we took a beautiful walk through the city to get to and from the gorgeous dance studio we rehearsed in. For two hours, we got to sing in a wonderful studio space in the heart of Bue...

Day 4- The Day of Dance πŸ’ƒπŸ•Ί

 ¡Hola! Me llamo Hope y canto como soprano dos en Shrine.  This post is the result of a sudden burst of energy at 2 a.m. after the tango show (of course, lol). It's long, but it's worth it! πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ•ΊπŸ•ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡·πŸ‡¦πŸ‡·πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸŽΆπŸŽΆ The day began with a brisk walk at 7:15am to the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral and Plaza de Mayo. The sky was a rich idigo hue which highlighted the intricate white architecture beautifully. A phrase I consistently say during this trip is, "woooah that railings, pillars, terrace, etc. is gorgeous...". Additionally, Buenos Aires smells even more like metallic sea air at dawn than midday which was lovely. The city reminds me of Seattle, WA from the misty sea aesthetic and the trees. Fun Fact: the really cool building is the home church of late Pope Francis! It is very elegant and breathtaking. After my morning adventure, I joined more friends to eat an early breakfast at a Cafe. I ordered Cafe de la Leche (coffee) with this coffee cake/pastry-thing that...

Day 14 (?) - To Shrine,

Today we arrived back in the United States after a long almost two weeks of being out of the country. The flight today has allowed me to do a good amount of reflecting on the tour. I won’t lie and say that these past weeks haven’t been without issues but they have brought some of my most incredible memories.  Adjusting to a new culture and trying to get around a city that speaks a different language than me was a tough barrier to get through for the first few days. I was incredibly blessed to have a group of people who allowed me to learn alongside them (with David’s help translating) was an experience I will never forget.  Instead of writing a post talking about how grateful I am for everybody on this trip, I’d like to write about my favorite memories (in order of how I remember them) 1. Getting to Argentina completely exhausted and pushing through to walk through the streets and be blown away by the architecture of the buildings for the first time (this will be a common them...
