The Road Home
Every spring the Maryville College Concert Choir embarks on a special adventure to share the gift of music with all different kinds of people.

We decided to take a Tennessee Tour around all over the different parts of Tennessee. We traveled to big cities such as Knoxville, Nashville and Memphis.
