Chile con Carne



Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything, but I had a good excuse. I was in Chile!!!!!!! The trip was so fun! What an amazing experience it was to be out there and playing for people we didn't even know and probably will never meet again, but still felt a connection with through music and through the gospel. There were far too many experiences to write all of them down. But there are a few that I can try to describe through pictures.

One in particular was while we were in the City of Concepcion. One night we were scheduled to play two full concerts in a row. One at 7:00 and one at 9:30. Of course, this drew some complaints from most of the performers, especially the brass players because two concerts in one night is really hard to do. Little did we know that the next day, we'd be visiting a hospital that the proceeds of the concerts were to benefit. We joined the kids in painting some murals, and in return, they painted hand prints and signatures on one of the posters for our concert. We'll have that for memorobelia. It really was a neat experience that I won't soon forget. Overall, the trip was well worth the effort and the time required.
