Details!

Well, it's the day before the concert, and if we told you we weren't nervous, excited, and overwhelmed, we'd be lying. All the details are falling into place! The members of the band are coming in separately: one is coming in today by bus, three are arriving tomorrow afternoon from NYC, and one is arriving tomorrow by plane from Dallas.

To help you better understand the life of a world traveling jazz musician, here's a little peek into their schedule for the next few days:

Last week: the band spent the week together playing in Florence, Italy

Most of the members of the band traveled from Italy back to NYC for their respective gigs.

Jonathan Batiste flew from Italy to Scotland to open a TED conference. From there, he flew to Dallas, TX to do some filming. He is there now.

Monday night: gig in New York starting at around 10pm. Typically won't end until well after midnight. Take the train back to their respective apartments.

Tuesday morning: be on a bus by 6:30am headed for State College, PA. Definitely try to sleep on the way here!

Tuesday afternoon: get picked up in State College by Rebekah's dad. Try to sleep on the way to Indiana, PA.

Tuesday 4:30pm: sound check and set up at Grace United Methodist Church
* Thank you to Bay Allen at Grace UM!

Tuesday 5:30pm: eat a quick dinner before the concert
* Thank you to Danni Mencer and Barb Croce!

Tuesday 7:00pm: Bring Hugo Home concert

Tuesday 9:00pm: tear down equipment

Wednesday 7:30am: leave Indiana, PA to drive to State College to get back on a bus headed to NYC!

Wednesday night: gig in NYC

Whew! We're tired just typing all of that! We are so incredibly thankful for these guys. They are so talented, respected, and generous. If you get a chance to talk to any of them on Tuesday night, please thank them for their kindness towards us.

Please pray that everyone makes it here safely and on time!
