Carmel Indiana's Center For The Performing Arts WOWS Travelers!

Also known as The Palladium, the High Street Traveler's were entertained by Purdue University's men's & women's performance choirs on Thursday April 11 th. The afternoon concert of the 60+ member tuxedo-clad mens Glee Club and the 40+ assemble of sequined-topped ladies group of Purduettes thoroughly mesmerized us.

The combined 2 hour performance was a treat for most of our group who were taking in the concert from a middle orchestra-section plush seat in an acoustically perfect auditorium. Founded in 1893, the PU Varsity Glee Club is one of the proudest traditions in the State of Indiana. The Purduettes began performing in 1942 when WW 2 depleted the men's club roster. Both groups perform all over the world today with energy and stunning vocals. 
Prior to the concert, Travelers enjoyed a lunch at Ted's Montana Grill, a Clay Terrace restaurant owned by Ted Turner. SEVERAL were brave enough to try the famous BISON burger.
