Spud Shows!

Spudtastic!


What a great weekend of performing we had in the beautiful and windy Idaho this last weekend!


We had the opportunity to perform at two venues the first at the Civic Center in Idaho Falls on Friday night then the next night in the magnificent Stephens Performing Arts Center in Pocatello near Idaho State University. Before our show on Saturday we had a workshop with some awesome students from a near by High School and Junior High where we got to workshop our voices and learn some fun dances! 



The highlight of the weekend however found us in Heber, UT performing our first Fireside of the 2011-2012 season. There were tears, smiles, and a whole lot of Spirit. Thank you to all who were able to make it! Look out for our next Fireside in the De Jong Concert hall on March 25th!


Our performing season continues this weekend with performances this Friday at Stansbury Park High School on Tooele, UT, and Jackson, WY on Saturday. Hope some of you are able to make it out to our final two shows in the states for the 2011-2012 season! After that, it's 
off to Africa!


Thanks for all your support for this great cause!

A Month in Review!

The Young Ambassadors started 2012 off with a bang! We jumped right back into intense rehearsals to prepare for our shows at BYU in the deJong Concert Hall. We did a lot of fun things to promote the show. We had friendly competitions to win free tickets and we even did a flash mob in the Wilk during the busy lunch hour! It was a success! We also made a music video to the song in our show “It’s Just Life.” DJB did such a great job filming the video. It became a facebook and youtube hit! All of the work promoting our show definitely paid off. We performed to a packed house every night! It was a lot of fun performing to our home audience.

Shortly after our week in the deJong we had the great opportunity to perform in St. George at the convention for the BYU Arts Partnership with local school districts in Utah. We performed a few numbers from our show. We really enjoyed our time there.

We finished out the month by heading up to Smithfield, Utah. We had an incredible workshop with the students there. In the workshop the students got a sneak peak of a couple numbers from our show. They even learned the music and choreography to “Got So Far to Go.” After the workshop we had our performance. Thanks to all of those who helped make that day such a great experience.
