Alumni Show Recap!

Randy and some of the Young Ambassador Alumni

After Homecoming Spectacular, we had the opportunity to share our Saturday rehearsal with many Young Ambassador Alumni. The Alumni were very excited to see what we had prepared. We were excited as well, but also a little nervous to have our first audience. As we went through the run- through, Randy explained the various video clips that would play between each number. For the first time, we heard the full idea of the show and it actually felt like we had a show rather than 20 random numbers! We began to see how wonderful the show would be as we started to understand it’s true message. Although it was a ton of fun, the run-through definitely had it’s ups and down’s. Some of the more recently learned numbers were shaky and we could feel the nerves set in as we saw the work we had left to do.  But on the other hand, many of our numbers were impressive and almost ready. As I watched and performed, I felt the power of the slow moments in the show and I know the Alumni felt it as well. The spirit was so strong as we performed and left us, as well as the audience, in tears. 

It is such a wonderful opportunity to be apart of a show that’s main purpose is sharing the gospel?! We have so far to go, but really we have come so far. Our very imperfect show filled the audience with the spirit. Just imagine how powerful a perfect show could be. I don’t think that anyone should feel discouraged about our performance, but empowered by it. With the Lord’s help we can create a show that will fill the audience with the Spirit and soften hearts. Keep working YA’s! It’s worth it!
