The Chattanooga Girls Choir

	1999 Tour England and France

Last update: 2/10/00

June 28 - July 8, 1999.

The choir competed in the international Bournemouth Music Makers Festival in England and had other performances in several locations near the London area. The tour concluded with a few days in Paris.

We updated this site from Europe as we toured, posting a journal and photos whenever possible. As a journal entry became available, the date below of that journal entry was underlined. Click on the date to see the journal.

Post-tour note: Those of you who are planning to print out these pages might want to wait, since these pages will be improved during the next few months. (Some dark photos will be lightened and more photos will be added, and some text will be corrected.) I'll post a note here when the work is complete. Thanks! -- Amy
Update: Troubles with my scanner and with my work schedule have delayed the improvement of the tour pages. Sorry! Some is complete, and the rest I will do ASAP. -- Amy
