Pre-Show Entertainment at the Riverboat “City of New Orleans”
Your students can perform for tour groups at popular attractions such as the Riverboat “City of New Orleans.” It’s a unique opportunity for your choir, band, or orchestra to play or sing for other tourists on the dock as they wait for their turn to cruise down the Mighty Mississippi on this historic paddlewheeler. And afterwards, they can board the boat themselves and enjoy the jazz cruise!
