Texas Day 2

We left the Dallas area, Burleson, this morning at 9:30 am and arrived in San Antonio at 1:30 pm.  We went straight the the North Star Mall where everyone had lunch.  Many of us chose the Cheesecake Factory and did little shopping, others chose a lot of shopping and food court for a quick lunch.  One of the students even found a prom dress today!  From the mall we went to Alamo Heights High School where we warmed up in the music BUILDING (Yes, the music department has their own building) and performed in a wonderful auditorium.  The kids sang extremely well and the judges were very impressed.  One of the judges worked with the choir on stage after our performance and had so many compliments for them!  I was so proud of their effort, their attitude, and their poise on that stage today!  The judges' comments made the choir swell with pride, not to mention the director.  We found our hotel and at 8 pm we had a pizza party provided by the boosters and a caring parent in the conference room downstairs.  The pool and hot tub then filled with students from many schools and states!  As I write this it is almost 11 pm which is time to get everyone in their own rooms.  Ohio State just lost and tomorrow morning we will leave for the Alamo at 9 am with the Riverwalk, Six Flags, Awards, Banquet, and Festiva
