Drake Chamber Choir will tour England January 10-22. We'll post daily blogs about
our activities, as well as related photos, so you can share in our transformational
experiences. Because January 10 is a travel day and we won't arrive at
our first destination until the evening of January 11, please be patient
regarding our initial post. Thereafter, posts will be made late evening, or more likely, early the next morning for the previous day, depending on schedule and internet availability. England is six hours ahead of U.S. time.
