Sound Check, Photo Ops, Parade

After the breakfast and mass, we went to the Stadthalle for the 10 minute soundcheck. 
While waiting for the tram, we met the Land of the Lakes Boys Choir from Minnesota. They are the only boys choir, aside from LPBC, who will also be competing in the same category as the boys, Category 1 - Children's Choir and Category 17 - Musicam Sacram. 
While waiting for their turn to practice, the boys had opportunities to meet children's choir from Russia, Singapore, China and even the Kilyawan Boys Choir from the Philippines. 
93 nations, 430 choirs, 18,500 singers will be competing in the 24 categories of the 5th World Choir Games.
