Say it

Crystal River High School choral students were asked: "What impressed you about Salt Lake City during your recent trip?"

MYESHIA VAN BLOUNT, 15, NINTH GRADE "The way the community is all together. You can walk anywhere you want to go. It's great. I liked the organ in the Mormon Tabernacle because of the many pipes and the sounds that it produced."

SARA SPRAKER, 16, TENTH GRADE "I think I liked the structures and the buildings of all the different religions and seeing the mountains we don't have in Florida."

NICHOLE ZELNERONOK, 16, TENTH GRADE "There's a lot of pretty architecture there. The temples are really nicely built. There were nice log cabins. It was a change of pace from Crystal River ... and dry. I got a lot of nose bleeds."

GEN CLAY, 17, ELEVENTH GRADE "I went and saw the new conference center. The tabernacle is beautiful and when you walk in you can almost feel how the early pioneers might have felt when they arrived in Utah and began construction on such a beautiful building, but the new conference center is about three times as large and twice as beautiful. We went up to Park City and saw the Olympic site where the games will be held in 2002, which I will be able to attend as a graduation present from my parents."
