few moments relaxation before their first appearance wa enjoyed by the choraliers at an outdoor cafe beside the bandshell staff photo choraliers big hit at expo continued from pooe 1 the new network of highways in montreal caused some confusion but after one blind alley the bus landed in lasalle at the champllain aprs where the choraliers were booked president jim higglrjs soon had the boys and baggage unloaded and first inspection of the two apartments accommodations proved to be neat and almost new the buildings were erected especially for expo and this particular one could accommodate 16 in each suite on single beds nearby was a brand new plaza where meals could be had for a moderate price average cost of staying at one of these apartments runs at 3 per night per person depending on the size of the party after a short look at surroundings the group freshened up and broke up some went directly to expo to see the sights and others went downtown despite the lack of sleep with similar things in mind when most of the group returned around midnight they were pretty tired but it wasnt long until a sing song was going and it was early in the morning before most of them made it between the sheets up bright and early sunday morning off for breakfast some to church and then dress up for the first performance on the bus and off to expo accompanied by the elmira high school band which was booked in at the same apartments and missed their bus the moment the choraliers hit the expo gates they were the object of many eyes and many people stopped them to ask what they were some asked for autographs after their first performance the choraliers went as a group to the bell telephone pavilion to see the famed walt disney film on canada on screen stretching right around a large auditorium it was fabulous and worth the trip to expo for it alone youd have to see it before you can take part in the sensations it arouses about canada the rest of the day was spent sightseeing for most of the group the evening was spent at the centennial military tattoo at expo stadium again the show was so outstanding it could be a magnet to draw patrons to expo standing alone over 1700
