Heading for brighter sun, choir students say bon voyage

Look out Bahamas, here comes the Neshaminy High School Choir! On Wed., April 18, the Neshaminy High School choir will be heading off to the Bahamas Cruise Festival and Orlando Tour.

Though plenty of time will be spent in the sun and having fun, the choir students also get the opportunity to take part in a competition.

This five-day event will begin with a flight to Florida. Junior Amy Gurevitch, explained, “I’m excited to go on the trip, but I’m nervous because I have a fear of flying.”

After the five flights arrive, the group will spend the remainder of the day in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.

Day-two will be filled with fun as the group spends the day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure.

For the next three days, the choir will be aboard Royal Caribbean Cruise Line’s “Majesty of the Seas Nassau and CocoCay Cruise.”

The cruise includes a stop in Nassau, Bahamas and CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island.

“I can’t wait for the trip,” choir member, Allison Everitt, commented, “It’s going to be a lot of fun for everyone involved.”

While aboard the cruise, the choir will compete against two other schools-one from Kentucky and one from Louisiana.

They will also enjoy all of the fun-filled activities that come along with cruises, such as dancing, disco, and karaoke.

They will also take place in an award ceremony at the end of the cruise.
The choir has been practicing their music for the competition ever since the school’s musical production, Crazy for You, came to an end.

The choir has also been holding rigorous after-school practices every Wednesday in the auditorium from 2:30-4PM. Also, the choir practices their music in class each day.

Junior Erin Hamilton commented, “I am really glad that we get to represent our school out of state.”

The 240 students will return to school on Tuesday, April 25 most likely with a trophy in their hands.
