Group pictures were taken and a shirt run-through of the mass choir piece (Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral) before choir was done before a lunch break.
I spent the afternoon after a hearty lunch exploring the Wan Chai Market again and finishing the shopping I intended to do. The smells here are so overpowering with how different they to what I am used to in the States. The sheer amount of fresh food, plant and animal, is amazing. By fresh, I mean that stand operators will put living fish out on the bins and sell them directly from there. Bartering has been so fun, talking stand owners down to a reasonable price. One particular lady had no interest in haggling with me and missed out on selling me a couple of items. Smiling and being generally pleasant will help you with your goal. Also not being "married" to any one item helps. If a stand owner thinks you are too interested in an item, they will purposefully try and get you to take it with a higher price.
Our concert was tonight, and it was one of the most fun performances I have had in my entire college career. We were all connected and very interested in working together as well as we could. Our performance with the American Trombone Choir was very fun, playing in a large group is always fun.
The evening was not without its problems. Two of our members' phones were stolen during the concert. Luckily it was only those two, but it reminded everyone that personal item security is very important, even if it is near the end of the trip.
