I have been following after music since I first tried out for Honor Choir in my middle school years! Music is my passion and I believe it is the strongest language we possess. I would like to share music around the globe and this is my opportunity to do just that. It still came as a shock when I was nominated to be an Iowa Ambassador of Music by my choir teacher, Natalie Bradburn! I was baffled, p
artly because I had no clue what it was, but then I received the pamphlet explaining the tour occurring in July of 2018. Prior to leaving for the tour, other selected Iowa students and I will gather for four days at Grinnell College to practice the songs we will perform in concert at multiple locations while in Europe and we will perform at the college on the last night in the United States before departing on our adventure! This tour to seven different countries in Europe lasts sixteen days. If I can raise the funds to make it there, then I will be able to share some of Iowa as well as the powerful energy of music to the locals of different countries. This is my chance to see a different world and explore much of the history while I am also immersing myself in the musical cultures in these parts of the world...not to mention the different forms of genuine cuisines I can eat! The tour is a very well organized trip, with top rate hotels and service and all of the best scenic routes assisted by some of the best tour guides! I will be able to visit famous pieces of architecture such as the Arc de Triomphe, The London Eye, and many gothic style cathedrals. I hope to visit every possible location I can while on the sixteen-day trip. The locations I will get to see are, England, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy, and Germany! Please help me spread music to these countries and take this trip of a lifetime. Every donation is appreciated and please take the time to share this with any peers passionate about music and adventure!
