My thoughts about the tour

I would like to say that I have never done something like this before,so I don't even know how to start.Perhaps I should begin talking about my feelings about this tour.I am really happy for being a part of the II SCO tour.It's always good to make good friends and get to know other places.However,better than traveling is to get the Sphinx's goal more and more accomplished.I am a part-time music teacher(elementary,middle and high school),and went back to work in our 10 days break. After teaching a 8th grade class,I told them I was away for a month because I was touring with the SCO. As soon as I said "Sphinx",they started asking all kind of questions. They had watched the 2006 Sphinx Competition DVD a week before,and they were so interested about the organization and its programs that I had to extend that class and still couldn't asnwer all questions. I was amazed and then realized how important each SCO member is. We are role models for the new generation and hopefully years from now we will have accomplished our goal of having diversity in classical music.
Getting back to the subject....the tour was amazing!Andre and Nick rock!By the way,let me thank Nick for working on getting me a bass for the Cerritos performance. Nick, you are amazing!
