While touring China with the Adrian College Choir in the summer of 2008, Tom bought a replica of "The Archer" -- a Terra Cotta Soldier from the city of Xian. This soldier was the only statue found in tact. Thousands of other soldiers have been re-assembled at the archeological sight. To see more pictures of the Adrian College Choir in China, click HERE.
