The Mesa High Orchestra, Choir, and Band took a trip to New York City in April. Spencer had worked so hard to earn the money so he could go. It was a little nerve-wracking dropping him off at the airport but the excitement was infectious and the chaperones were well-trained. We knew we left him in good hands!
On their first morning in NY, the group took a ferry ride to see the Statue of Liberty. Just beautiful!
It was so fun to go through all of Spencer's photos when he got home and see his photographer's eye. Isn't this gorgeous?
He loved taking pictures of all the public art and fascinating architecture.
The kids were able to participate in customized Master Classes and also performed in front of the Lincoln Center and at the Church of St. Paul while they were there.
They loved dining at the retro 50's Stardust Diner.
Their home base was the Holiday Inn on 6th Ave.
This is a stunning view from the Top of the Rock, the observation deck on top of Rockefeller Center. The group also went to "La Traviata" at the New York Metropolitan Opera.
This was the restaurant where they ate breakfast every morning.
Spencer adored everything in Times Square. They all got to see the Broadway production of "Mary Poppins."
Awww. So cute. Spencer and Kylie.
Again, Spencer's eye for interesting detail:
The Mormons in the group got excited when they drove by this building!
The group visited St. Patrick's Cathedral,
and took a backstage tour of the Radio City Music Hall. The boys especially enjoyed meeting some of the Rockettes!
Spencer took so many beautiful photos inside the Radio City Music Hall. These are just a few:
He loved seeing beneath the hydraulic stage.
Welcome Home, Spencer! We missed you but love that you had this neat experience. Go Mesa!
