The BYU Homecoming Spectacular: The Best Show in Town!

Some Young Ambassadors with Co-Host Stephen Jones

After years of tradition, the Young Ambassadors again had the wonderful opportunity performing in the well-loved BYU Spectacular. The theme of this year’s show was “Dare to Discover,” and the highlighted figures were Harvey Fletcher, a famous BYU Audio Physicist and Summerissa Bell, our very own Young Ambassador who had her face plastered over every BYU UTA bus and Spectacular Playbill. She is quite the celebrity now.

We had the privilege this year to perform with such groups as the BYU Ballroom Dance Company, Cougarettes, Women’s Chorus, Contemporary Dance Theatre, Percussion Ensemble and the very melodious Philharmonic Orchestra. Each group was stunning in their execution of their artistic craft and all of us YA’s enjoyed watching them perform.

Our Emcees were Brad Wilcox and Stephen Jones. Brad Wilcox, one of our Young Ambassador Alumni’s, did us all proud with his humor and quick wit along with Stephen Jones, the YouTube comedy star from BYU. With both of their hilarious acts put together they made a very appetizing “Celestial Sandwich,” of stand up performance. (see the The Harold B. Lee Library YouTube Advertisement 'Study like a Scholar, Scholar')

The YA Girls before the Spectacular!

With only a little over a month of rehearsal, with the help of all of our great directors and choreographers, we were able to put together two numbers for the show. We performed ‘Got So Far to Go’ from Hairspray and ‘Through Heaven’s Eyes” from Prince of Egypt. As Randy prepped us before our show, he helped us to give off as much light from within ourselves as possible. This encouragement helped us to give a spectacular performance and we were able to bless the lives our audience members.

Since the BYU Spectacular is over we all are hyped for our upcoming performances. We’re just glad that we had the opportunity to share and perform in BYU Spectacular this year. It really was the Best show in town.
