To Gene Gourdeau...I was a member of the 1979 group that started in Rome also, (in the choir). I, too, had the album, but cannot find it anywhere and would give anything to hear it again. And yes, the Battle Hymn of the Republic....wow, gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes every time. Has anyone found out if this program still exists and if we can somehow purchase the recordings? What an awesome experience! There has been quite a few comments since the last I checked this sight!

Anyone out there from the same group?? We started in Rome and travelled to England. Dr. Gerald Mack was our choir director. What a fabulous trip! I've wanted to return ever since!

I played trumpet in the Concert Band. I would love to hear from some people who toured with me. I was in the 1972 America’s Youth in Concert group that toured Europe.

What an amazing time of unforgettable music. I still have the album we recorded, so if anyone wants it, contact me via facebook (joni campbell). I've also started a group called All American Youth in Concert Tours, so all those who've toured, let's connect there. Would enjoy finding several from 1974 - Adina, Darrel, to name a few.

It was a great experience! Unfortunately, I lost the album that we recorded at Town Hall in New York, upon our return from Europe. Is there a way to acquire a CD of our performance? Hello to Steve Beck, Chuck Bond, and Jim Shelton. I was a member of America’s Youth in Concert Choir in 1974. It was a great experience!

He's retired and loving it, as of about a year ago. PS - Last year, I got hold of Bill Ramsey (the choir director for the tour) and had a nice email conversation with him.

This is cool. I was on the 1976 AYIC tour to Europe (I sang in the choir...I was actually the alto soloist for the Mozart Coronation Mass). My roommate - a girl named Candace from Wyoming - got a horrible case of hives in Innsbruck. Astonishingly (especially nowadays), our chaperones allowed us to stay at the hotel - unchaperoned! - while the rest of the group went to dinner. We had dinner at the hotel by ourselves...of course, with more than a couple of liters of fine Austrian beer... The whole trip was awesome. I'll never forget it. Whoa. This is cool.
