Going down in a cave isn't a "downer," especially if it's Cave of the Mounds

Later, we all hoped to sift our weight in gold.  No luck.

The Madison Boys Choir provided a real feast.  "Where's the famous cheese?"

We also got to burn off a little energy with them and the Red River Boys Choir.

That night, a joint concert with the two choirs at a retirement home and a VERY gracious audience.

Sunday morning found us joining in and performing at a morning church service.

After a short road trip, the Appleton Boys Choir hosted a huge dinner for us.  Still no cheese!

The beautiful First English Lutheran Church was the site of a joint concert, ending with a combined choir rendition of "Al Shlosha."

Next day, the Doty Elementary kids were pretty awed by our guys.

Then it was off to the races.  Complete with our own guest racers "Crash" and "Burn."

The Green Bay Boys Choir were great hosts and we made some new friends.

The joint concert with them and the Wild River Boys.

We had a wonderful time in Rhinelander, GREAT food (and desserts), warm welcome and great concert reception.

In Boulder Junction, Mr. Adams provided a workshop for the local children's choirs with our guys as the example.

We had a lot of fun singing a couple of songs with them at the end of our concert that evening.

Camp Manito-wish was everything we hoped it would be.  Here we see the position a canoe is not supposed to be in.

A fun ice-breaker game got us loosened up for the "work" to come.

We hit the wall.  And, no, it isn't as easy as it looks.  Just ask some of the chaperones.

We found that a few of our guys were really "flying squirrels."

And the then we canoed, and canoed, and canoed...

There's always time to celebrate birthdays.  These are always a lot of fun on tour.

We were privileged to perform at the prestigious Walter Payton School in Chicago, named after the famous Chicago Bear.

Probably the highlight of the tour was singing our National Anthem for a White Sox game at Comiskey Field.  Click the picture to download a RealAudio MPEG file.

The famous Navy Pier had something for everyone.

Dinner at Ed Debevic's was wild... and good.

Even the dinosaurs stood in silence as we sang "America the Beautiful" in the awesome Field Museum of Natural Science.

The Woodstock Opera House, with it's rich history and turn of the century architecture was a great place to perform and meet the audience in "Dream A Dream."

Last concert of the tour, Woodstock seemed like a piece of what our "America" set was all about.

From the sublime to, well, see for yourself.

Here's where boys who make it to the end of the season go.  Actually, dinner at the Jailhouse was one of the most fun meals of the two weeks.
