July 6, 2005 (Wednesday) — Heading to Iowa.

Some of the festival choirs head to Iowa for two concerts. We stopped at a rest stop and had an evening concert at Drake University in Des Moines. The choirs in Iowa are PBA, Florida's SInging Sons, Herning from Denmark, Gaudeamus men from Latvia, Ensemble Amarcord from Germany, and Gentlemen SIngers from the Czech Republic.
