Whew! It's been a LONG day of travel for our 31 advanced performers and
chaperones and staff. We arrived at the airport at 7 AM only to find
out our flight was delayed by 3 hours. The kids were amazingly patient
and passed the time creatively. We had lots of passengers ask us where
we were going and giving positive feedback on such a well behaved group.
In fact, the woman at the pretzel stand was so impressed by our
students' exemplary behavior that she gave one chaperone two free
pretzels!

There was a bit of turbulence, but once we found the "right"
altitude we had a smooth ride to Atlanta where we easily navigated the
airport to our bus. We had asked the students not to sing in public in
the airport and plane, and once we loaded up the bus they BURST into
song!

Once we arrived at the hotel we found our rooms and ate pizza and
collapsed into bed. Tomorrow we'll take a walk through the JTF spaces,
meet our friends from Korea, rehearse, and have a pool party. The
staff and I are incredibly proud of this amazing group and the support
and respect they show to each other and the world around them. Thank
you for sharing them with us this weekend!

Rebecca Posamentier, BACT's Education Director, will be sharing thoughts and experiences from the Advanced Performers' trip to the Junior Theatre Festival this weekend in Atlanta.
I am glad that I finally got a chance to check out this place. Great views, food is nice. The quality of service at LA event venues was great, and the environment were pretty comfortable. I’ll say I will look forward to visit again.
