On Wednesday, May 23, 2007, fifty-eight Odebolt-Arthur music students and
thirty
adults boarded chartered buses and headed for New York City. They
left the school at 11:00 a.m. and traveled through the night until the
reached the Big Apple. They enjoyed visits to the United Nations
Headquarters, Lincoln Center, Central Park, Rockefeller Plaza, Liberty
State Park, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, Battery Park, the
Empire State Building and Chinatown.
They had a great spot on the CBS Early Saturday show and were treated
to special dining and dance lessons at the Swing 46 Club. One evening the
group dined at the Hard Rock Cafe, shopped in Times Square and enjoyed a
performance of "Phantom of the Opera" at the great Majestic Theatre!
The tour ended with an evening visit to ground zero.
We would like to thank everyone who donated time, money and supplies to
help make this trip a reality! Special thanks to Thrivent for
Lutherans for their support.
