The story of St. Patrick is a wonderful tale...too long to tell, but trust me on this one!
The Orchestra and Band has made their way from Galway into the capital of the Irish Republic: DUBLIN. Situated on the River Liffey Dublin has been around since the days of the Vikings, circa 988 AD. Now that MOJO has been here, the circle is now complete!
Day 6 started out with a whirlwind tour of Dublin. Included in this tour was Trinity College, The Book of Kells, Grafton Street and St. Patrick's Cathedral.
The highlight of the tour was St. Patrick's Cathedral. Even more of a highlight was performing in the cathedral. The acoustics were amazing and to be surrounded by so much history was outstanding!
St. Patrick's Day: The band and orchestra marshaled at the parade staring point and mixed with several groups: a British Marching Band, The Mighty Mizzou Band (University of Missouri), and the Fightin' Irish of Notre Dame Marching Band. It was a blast to hear and see the many students and teachers ready to have fun and embark on a year's worth of work!
