Bright eyes, excited smiles, and anxious laughter met at 7:30am this morning to embark on Summer Tour 2009. Our favorite bus driver, Shelton, welcomed us onto his bus - luggage, garment bags, water, snacks, movies, programs, pillows - you name it, we packed it! Once it was all, miraculously loaded onto the bus, the boys paused for a few pictures before waving goodbye. Three hours into the trip brought a quick rest-stop, followed by lunch shortly thereafter.
Perfectly on schedule, the bus pulled into the lot of the Louisville Slugger Muesum at 2pm. Recently renovated, updated, and expanded, the boys roamed the museum, watched a breif movie, and toured the working factory where bats for amateurs to major-leaguers are produced. They learned about the process from tree to billet to bat, and even got to swing a Babe Ruth bat!
A short drive down the road brought the boys to the Cathedral of the Assumption, a truly amazing space in which to sing. Following a short rehearsal the boys gathered downstairs for pizza and some quiet time before the 7:30 performance. Warmly received in Louisville, the boys are ready for a full day of travel, museum and performance in St. Louis tomorrow!
