Music Tour to Croatia

With music usually confined to the classroom of CGF, the tour to Croatiawas certainly an eye-opener. After a rather arduous (but certainlyentertaining) coach journey, we arrived in the stunning country of Croatia,where the choir and band played in numerous beautiful and unusualvenues. Amongst these were the huge, glittering caverns of Slovenia,which certainly made a change from the school hall. Another day weperformed in botanical gardens, playing and singing out to the sea. Weperformed various numbers, the choir lighting the air with ‘Shine’ and theRazzy Dazzy band with ‘Carwash’.

Despite all the busy music-making, there was always time for shopping.After getting used to the somewhat confusing currency of Kuna, we wentround various towns, such as Opatija, to experience Croatian culture(and all the yummy food on offer). The weather was flawless throughoutthe trip, and I’m sure everyone was sorry to leave. It was an incredibleexperience, and I would urge anyone with a voice box to sign up to choirwith haste.
