Yes, it's been quite warm out, lately!
Kimberly and Kristina headed to Virginia for MusiCollege by Majesty Music. This was their early morning view from the bridge just a few miles from our house!
Their next stop was at Cumberland Gap. This is the view from Pinnacle overlook
Here you're looking at Tri-State Peak. The point where Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia all meet.
It was so beautiful out there!
Crossing through the tunnel--right through the Gap.
Another breathtaking view from Hwy 58 in Virginia.
The mountains were SO pretty!
We had great classes at MusiCollege and it was really fun singing together as a choir.
We had great choir directors, too!
One of the kids choir's at MusiCollege, with Ron Hamilton directing.
The final evening they did a large concert for the community. Nearly everyone who attended the MusiCollege was on stage, singing in the choir! The music was AMAZING!
Ron Hamilton directed some of the songs.
Warren Cook directed some of the other songs.
Ray and Ann Gibbs sang the lead parts--they are skilled voice teachers with over 90 years of combined experience.
