Hosts needed for touring choir

I am the tour manager for the Jamestown College Concert Choir, and this March we plan to be in Philadelphia, PA. We will be doing a concert at the Church of the Holy Trinity on Friday, March 13th. Normally when we go on tour, it is customary for members of the choir to stay with host families from the congregation. In the case of CHT, they are unable to find families for our entire choir. I was contacting you to see if you would be willing to ask members of your church if they would be interested in hosting students for the evening. Host families can choose whether they would like to host men/women and whether they would like to host two or four singers. So far CHT has managed to find housing for about 20 students and our choir has 60 members. By no means am I asking you to make up the difference, even one or two volunteers would be a help! Also, your congregation is more than welcome to attend the concert if they wish. It's at 7:30 pm and the address of the church is 1904 Walnut Street. If you'd like more information on the hosting, or if you have any volunteers, feel free to email me at wheinzen@jc.edu. You may also call my phone, 218-244-7999. Thank-you very much!


We only need housing for the night of Friday the 13th. As for meals, CHT (where we are doing our concert) will provide us dinner on Friday evening. The only meal host families will have to provide is breakfast on Saturday morning. Basically, what we need from a host family is:
  • Pick us up after the concert on Friday (obviously they can attend if they would like, otherwise it will be done just before 9 pm)
  • Students spend the night (two-four singers per home)
  • Breakfast Saturday morning
  • Drop us off at CHT around 7:30 am (I'll have an exact time fairly soon for whomever is interested)
