Day #4 - Thu 10/04/08

Hello again,

This morning we visited the Chateaux du Goulaine which started with a look at the butterfly farm there. This was followed by a tour of parts of the chateaux istelf and a look at the Lu biscuit museum that they have there. The visit ended with free wine and biscuits.

We then headed back to the centre of Nantes for a spot of lunch before making the obligatory daily visit to a patisserie! Then came this evening's concert - apart from an interesting section of Hootenany courtesy of the trombones (well in fairness, it's not like it's a piece we play often is it? :-p), it went pretty well. The Nantes Uni Big Band were really good too - though there was too much enthusiastic dancing going on by members of the band for my liking! We ended the concert with a joint performance of Sing Sing Sing which worked better than expected!

Only one day left on tour - and we won't be doing a great deal apart from the concert with the choir in the evening I don't think. I'll leave you with todays Scottisms:
"Did you know Walmart is the richest country in the world?"
"If I wet myself now, I'm never coming to windband again!"

Byee!
