It is the story about how music can be used “For Good.” Julia is a senior, and as a 4-year chorus member at Plant High School she is allowed a solo number in the Senior Showcase. Julia had never sung a solo and needed some help. She got it, and closed the show to a tearful, standing ovation. You see, Plant High School has 250 chorus members and four different levels.

The kids I was with had all seen the movie National Treasure, so when I told them the National Archives were where all the documents they had seen in the movie were actually located, they were excited to go. The guys in the group had a blast playing dectective at the National Spy Museum and sported mustaches purchased in the gift shop for the rest of the day.
