Southern States Tour! Day 8: Knoxville, TN

On the road again, to the "greenest state in the land of the free", Tennessee! What a place to be! Our first stop was at the University of Tennessee Football Stadium. It was gigantic! College football is definitely a way of life here in Tennessee. It has over 100,000 seats in this gargantuan stadium! We met there with some of the folks that have been preparing over the last year for us. They arranged an awesome tour of the facilities there, and even took us to the bookstore to pick up a little keep sake. Sports fan or no, this tour was an incredible experience.

After the tour, we took off to a workshop at Karns High School. Both the band and the performers had an awesome time with the students. The performers got a special performance from "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", the musical they are putting on! They were awesome! The energy from the student really gave us a boost.

We then had dinner at the Bryce home. They were so kind to host us all. The YSA's in the area prepared the food and let us relax before our fireside. The fireside was another wonderful experience. This tour is jammed packed with them! The spirit was strong, and we enjoyed getting to know those who attended. Tomorrow, we are back to performing our show! So keep reading!
