Claflin University Concert Choir departs for China
Posted in Uncategorized on June 5, 2008 by claflinuniversity
The Claflin University Choir departed for China today to participate in a choral tribute to the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games.
To pay for the trip, choir members had to raise $200,000 through a series of fundraising efforts. Those efforts included concerts, car washes, bake sales and sales of the concert choir CD.
The choir travels on a 10-day tour from the Orangeburg campus this afternoon, flying from Atlanta with a layover in Toronto before arriving in Beijing. For some, it will be their first time flying; for many others, it will be the first time traveling outside the United States.
