The Bon Voyage Concert is over, and the choir is now finishing packing both for tour, and for many to leave Provo for the summer or post-graduation life. This entry will be very brief as the packing process is long, and morning will come early.
The choir sang a good concert to a very appreciative audience (love those home audiences!) and had a chance to perform some of the pieces they’ve learned more recently. It’s fun to watch all the repertoire from the year come together into a concert program that can be tweaked and rearranged to fit each hall and audience.
Here are a few shots of the choir both formal and a tad less formal. Concert outfits were already packed, so they were not in tuxes and gowns tonight.
Hope to see many of you on tour!

Wish I could have been there. Have a glorious trip!
Thanks, Sandefur. We couldn’t make it to the concert because 5:30 is just too early to get there from Logan, but our thoughts were there. Looking forward to more of your beautiful photographs this year. 🙂
Have fun on tour! – TG
I look forward to hearing you in Loveland on Thursday. Thanks for letting me sit in on your rehearsal this past February – it was truly remarkable.
Dear Sandefur,
Sorry it has taken me so long to tell you how much I am enjoying this blog. It’s great to get the details of each day, and I’m loving the pictures! I think my favorite pictures are of the Singers “mingling” with the high school students. It’s wonderful to see how they make connections everywhere they go.
Thank you!!!
Jan
I’m always glad to know someone is reading this! It’s been a great tour, but I miss seeing your smiles.
THANKS, THANKS, THANKS, Sandefur. I appreciate again your incredible photos and the updates on what is happening day by day. I agree with Jan that it’s fun to see the photos of Singers visiting with other choral singers, and I love the photos of the venues. I especially appreciate the photos of the gorgeous churches and the magnificent scenery. Thanks for helping us feel connected! My aunt, a life-long choral singer herself, came to the final concert last night, and enjoyed it immensely. This is what she posted on her FB page:
“Just got home from a concert done at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church on the Auraria Campus by the BYU Singers. PHENOMENAL!!! The sound was incredible–they were so good and the building’s acoustics were incredible! Wish you had all had the privilege to be there too. What a lovely end to a very special “Pre-Mother’s Day.”
With great appreciation,
Bonnie
Thanks so much, Bonnie! Glad you followed us through tour. Last night really was quite remarkable.
Our family loved this fun evening of singing entertainment! Thanks for the invite to families for an FHE night! It was wonderful and very crowd pleasing! : )
