Goodbye, Shaoxing. Hello, Cincinnati!
SingCinnati makes their way home to Cincinnati after a 9-day stay in Shaoxing, China for the World Choir Games. Our choir was divided into two groups: one was routed to Hangzhou airport, then Beijing, then Chicago. The other group would travel north to Shanghai, and depart from that airport. The group would then reunite in Chicago and then onward to Cincinnati.
The group that would depart from Shanghai would also receive a special bus tour around the city of Shanghai, compliments of our wonderful tour guides Pan and Penny, and our fearless driver, Mr Zhang. The group was delighted to see the site of the World Expo 2010 as well as many other incredible buildings.

SingCinnati brings back two silver medals to the people of Cincinnati. We’re proud of our achievement and we were so honored to represent our fair city for the World Choir Games! We did our very best to spread the word about Cincinnati as the next host city of the World Choir Games in 2012. From the sound of it, it looks like many folks from around the world are already excited about their trip to Cincinnati in 2012!
SingCinnati certainly did its part to promote Cincinnati: we readily had “Cincinnati, USA” pins and badges to give to the new people we met at the Choir Games. Some of our SingCinnati members made it to “star status” when local Chinese kids flocked around them, wanting our Cincinnati pins.

We will always hold special memories for the World Choir Games, and the gracious city of Shaoxing.
Now, we return to life as it was before.
Though, we gladly tout our new title of World Choir Games Silver Medalists.
