Flashback: Winter Adventures!

Before the Thorn tour we relaxed a little during Christmas break, came back and hit the studios for more classes and rehearsals to prepare for our 2015 Great Lakes Tour to Michigan and Minnesota.  On our tour we were very fortunate to continue meeting wonderful new people as well as reconnecting with old friends.  After two quick workshops at For His Glory and Integrity, we headed off to North Branch, Michigan where we held one of our biggest workshops of the tour at Country Christian Church.  During this time we were lucky enough to stay with Laci Yarbrough, (a previous company member) parent's house in North Branch.  After a fun time of reconnecting with the Yarbrough's, we traveled to Jackson, Grand Rapids, and Battle Creek, Michigan where we continued to stay busy performing, holding master classes and workshops. Once we finished up our events in Michigan, we were excited to head off to Minnesota where we reconnected with Alyssa Schneider's (a current company member) family and hometown in Winona, MN.  While in Winona, we performed at Alyssa's old elementary school, St. Stanislaus, as well as traveled a few hours to Woodbury and Coon Rapids, MN to perform at New Life Academy and Coon Rapids EV Free church.  We left the Schneider's house full of homemade bread and cookies and finished our tour with a master class held at MDU in Onalaska, WI.  Exhausted after two and a half weeks of touring, we hit the road for the 15 hour drive back to Colorado Springs.
