I really had a great time! My only reason for withholding one star was the 3:45am pickup the last day to fly home. Why such an early flight?! Otherwise very fun. :)

The hotel in Vancouver was comfortable without feeling like I might be indulging more than I could afford. The complementary breakfasts were adequate - with healthy options, like fresh fruit, plain yogurt, whole grain bread and real eggs in addition to or in place of the usual sausage, bacon, fried potatoes and probably sugary dried cereals (I didn't see or ask for the latter). The hotel room was great, with temperature control, windows that opened and a balcony, wifi and everything immaculate. The staff at the hotel went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. The food in our shared dinners with the other choruses was truly fabulous... I don't know how much "Perform America" had to do with that feature... it seemed that it was managed by Elektra, our hosting chorus ? The whole process of signing up and paying Perform America for this was efficient with easy access to the lady in charge, even while so many different options were on offer (Seattle only, Vancouver only, Seattle + Vancouver, plane tickets or we make our own flying arrangements, etc.)

Well organized and managed.

Arrangements and communications with Perform America were excellent. Questions (email)answered quickly and frequently updated with any changes. The only negative was the sleeping arrangements in the hotel chosen. The accommodations for multiple people in a room included two (non-related) people sharing a double bed and the pull-out sofa was quite terrible if there was a 3rd or 4th person being accommodated. Additionally, choosing a flight home at 7 AM meant meeting in the hotel lobby at 3:45 AM and getting on a bus to the airport at 4:15 AM after a full concert and late-night reception. I think a better choice of flights might have been explored. The remainder of the arrangements were well-executed.

We had a great trip - the schedule sometimes felt a little too tight (short or no dinner hours) but it all worked out. It did seem that there had been scant publicity for our concert in Seattle on May 6th which was a shame because it was a beatuiful venue and I thought an excellent concert. Otherwise all good!
