From start to finish, the Woodward Academy Choir's tour of Italy has been a memorable journey filled with music and memories! ✈️🇮🇹🎶
Witness the magic of music! This talented orchestra's summer tour brought us to the awe-inspiring St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. Watch as they captured hearts with their breathtaking performance, uniting audiences through the universal language of music. 🏰🎻🎵

Rhode Island College Choir in Normandy
It's so powerful seeing one of our groups singing at the Pointe du Hoc Ranger Monument, which is located on a cliff eight miles west of Normandy American Cemetery and overlooks Omaha Beach.
This memorial honors the U.S. Army Rangers who scaled towering cliffs to seize German artillery pieces that could have fired on the American troops who landed at Omaha and Utah beaches.
Adventure is allowing the unexpected to happen to you, and that's why we love these type of spontaneous and impromptu performances!

Amazing Drumming & Juggling!
Three takeaways from this video:
1. How do you even think to do something like this?
2. Can't imagine how many hours of practice this took to master.
3. It's fair to say that this guy marches to the beat of his own drum.
Love it! 😊🥁❤️
