Tour is just a few days away now, and we've been preparing like crazy for our trip to FRANCE, BELGIUM AND THE NETHERLANDS!!! Everyone is getting really excited and most of us have already begun packing our bags and counting down the days until we leave.
Although most of our focus has been on what we'll see and do in Europe, we have also realized how significant this trip will be for us and also for our province. WWI has affected everyone in Newfoundland in some way or another, and being able to pay tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for us is an incredible opportunity. We will be visiting and performing at many of the Canadian and Newfoundland Memorial sites in France, and through our research into the Royal Newfoundland Regiment we will have a greater understanding of what they went through. We have each researched a soldier in the Regiment, and will hopefully be able to see some of their gravesites. This is especially important because for many of these soldiers, we may be the very first people from home to visit their graves.
But in the meantime, we'll continue packing, preparing and rehearsing for our trip. The hardest part now will be waiting for Saturday to arrive!
