A quick update....
Sunday morning was very moving. Fort McHenry where the words for the Star Spangled Banner were written at the Battle of Baltimore. The guide had the boys unfurl and hold a flag 30 feet by 30 feet and sing the anthem in the crisp cold air.
Lots of tears around.
Later today the boys are sight-seeing in groups in Washington then dinner at a lovely restaurant has been arranged.
Evening could see the workout with our Marine friends. They have been SO accommodating, they have posted a 24 hour guard over our facility so there is no question about the boys security.
Monday at 6:30am heading for Madison Street for CBS Early Show appearance about 8am EST (a new gig, just fixed up) then rehearsing with the Girls chorus 10-noon at the Marine Band facility then on to the Capitol for our sound check for TV and jumbotrons at 1pm
More later........

Hi! Cool blog. Ryan's teacher (Winston Chou) here. I've been posting Ryan's texts and pics on my blog - click here. If you don't mind I've linked you there. We will be "live blogging" on Tuesday, but Ryan has gotten us off to a great start. To all - stay warm and have fun!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are great! Can someone please remind Ryan S. to WEAR HIS GLASSES! :-) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteWe saw you on the Early Show, and boy it must have been early for all of you! You guys did great, and I wish that they had given you more time on the TV, but it was wonderful.
Great job, but tell all the boys that they need to not be chatting or looking other directions when someone is speaking, or being interviewed (We saw some doing this during Stevie Wonder's interview!) because the camera is ALWAYS ON, and who knows where it is looking! Heaven forbid someone not looking interested in Obama's acceptance speech! Remind them to be self-aware, no picking, sleeping or chit chat once they are done singing, as they will not be done until they are out of the camera view!
Anyways, you all are doing an amazing job, and just thought that we needed to put this out there for awareness before the big day!
