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

By
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 14 (?) - To Shrine,

By
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...

Day 2 - Drake Hammack - Buenos Aries!!

By
 Today we landed in Buenos Aires and got our first taste of the new sights, sounds and cultures we get to experience on this tour. After finishing a long 9 hour plane ride -and getting through customs- we took taxis to our hotel which lies right in the middle of downtown. Just walking through the streets of downtown was a great experience, many beautiful buildings surround the area. Some standouts for me were the museum and the cathedral. Packed in between the wonderful architecture were so many little shops and food vendors it was hard to choose which ones to stop at and which to walk by. Eventually the group I was with stopped at a bookstore. The store was decorated from top to bottom in antique signs and furniture, and the whole store had that old book smell. We even found a shelf full of classical music recordings, full of a bunch of composers and pieces a bunch of music nerds on a choir tour instantly recognized. After leaving the bookstore we found a small restaurant to grab ...

Day 1 - Tristen Bara - Travel Day Fun!(?)

By
Hi everyone! This is Tristen, a soprano of Shrine. Our first day of tour was simply a travel days, and we’ve experienced some bumps along the road (as anyone would). Our first flight out of PHX to ATL got delayed about 90 minutes total, and our whole group arrived around 11am for check-in, so we hung out at the airport for quite some time! Most of us circled up and played some card games (a lot of us in Shrine love card games, so we had basically an unlimited variety of decks and options!). Our first plane finally arrived around 2:30.  Our first flight wasn’t too bad! Little turbulence, we all managed to stay awake to sleep on our long flight. In the last hour of the flight a group of us randomly started a trivia game we found on our small seat screens! I believe another soprano, Ava, ended up winning it all!  We finally reached Atlanta, and all of us SPRINTED to the nearest shuttle to get to our next gate, when lo and behold our next flight has also been delayed. This one end...
