The last day of Tour began with a visit to the Bean and impromptu performance. Then, we headed over to the Pritzker Pavilion to watch the Grant Park Orchestra and dancers rehearse for their big 4th of July concert. We had some of the best seats in the house at this beautiful performing venue and enjoyed being in the audience. Some of the VIPs made their way back to the grassy lawn and did their own creative dancing - and were photographed by "The Chicago Tribune." We'll keep an eye on their Web site for pictures of our can-canning high school girls.
After a fabulous lunch at Steve's Deli, we made our way to the Bethesda Retirement Community for an afternoon concert and then to Lincoln Park Presbyterian Church for an evening concert. Between the two concerts, VIPs spent some time listening to previous concert recordings and identifying what we could correct in our final concert on the road. This "homework" paid off and the final concert was musically-speaking the best one we gave.
It's hard to identify the "best" concert on Tour. The one at Lincoln Park Presbyterian was, from a technical perspective, the finest performance. But VIP seemed to shine the brightest when performing for kids at Newberry Center or at one of the juvenile detention centers. Music ministry comes in all forms and it's a joy to experience them!
