6/17/2012 Singing with LHS Choir in Times Square, New York City!

On June 11, 2012 the Lincoln High School Choir boarded buses bound for Jazz at Lincoln Center.  Along the way we performed at St. Joan of Arc in Minneapolis, several restaraunts, and even at Times Square.  The performance at Times Square was on our last night in New York City, Sunday, June 17, 2012.  We had just taken a yacht cruise on the Hudson River and enjoyed the New York City skyline.  We saw the Freedom Towers illuminated in red, white, and blue.  We saw the Statue of Liberty, and more.  After the cruise, we loaded the entire choir into six stretch limos for a two hour tour of Manhattan.  During the tour we stopped at Times Square for a group photo and impromptu performance.  What we did not know is that my parents were watching the whole thing live on a Times Square webcam!  This video is the screenshots that they recorded on my Mom's cell phone.  I apologize for the poor audio quality, so turn up your volume and you will hear the LHS chor sing "Bless the Lord" live at Times Sqaure!

The scene is so picturesque it reminds me of a puzzle I had many years ago.  It was a 1500 Piece Times Square Puzzle and it is so vibrant and colorful.  It seems to show the Times Square scene exactly as I saw it the night of our performance.  Check it out!  "1500 Piece Times Square Puzzle"
