Southern States Tour! Day 11: Memphis, TN

Walkin' in Memphis! That was our theme song today as we visited the beautiful city of Memphis, TN! We had a bit of a drive, so we left Nashville at 7:45. Our first stop in Memphis was the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. We shared a 30 minute version of our show with them, right in the lobby. We enjoyed seeing those wonderful smiling faces looking up at us as we performed at the hospital.

After the visit to the children's hospital, we headed to a workshop with the students of Germantown High School. If we are ever feeling a little low energy, our visits to the high schools will always pick us back up! We had a very fun workshop at the high school, and wish them well in all there performance endeavors.

After the workshop, we had "a little less conversation, a little more action please." We drove to Graceland, Elvis Presley's home! We didn't tour inside, but we spent a little more than a half-hour visiting the gift stores, and signing the wall outside the property. It was amazing to see how he is still "the King!" There were so many visitors!

Our show that night was exciting to say the least! The big thrill for the night was a broken tooth! One of the performers happened to make contact with the bat that we use in our show, and his crown cracked into two pieces! After a quick scramble, the tooth was super-glued back in before the end of act one. Other than the tooth, the performance was a lot of fun. The theatre was was beautiful too!

Tomorrow is a long day, so keep reading!
