1 - We are all having a marvelous time, staying busy with touring and enjoying the company of our wonderful friends and hosts.

I would like to add a few images that I've taken in the spirit of a picture is worth a thousand words. So, in hopefully some kind of order...
Pictures of our first concert here, including pictures of the Musikschule Jugenblasorchester, our band of course, and our Musikschule guest conductors:
The next pictures are of a presentation of gifts to our hosts in appreciation for their support of this exchange. Also of note was a special recognition of Mr. Heinz Steidle, the Minister of Sport and Culture for Bietigheim-Bissingen. Mr. Steidle is responsible for starting this exchange in 1985 and has been an incredible supporter of it ever since. We were proud to present him with a photo art piece created by Mr. Marty Voelker, one of our art teachers at North. The piece features the Tivoli Theater at night with the Musikschule and District 99 on the marquee.
Some images of the amazing cars at the Mercedes Benz Museum today:
