We have been excited for a year for the Young Americans to come visit our base again. Last year their workshop and performance was a great success and kids talked about their show for weeks. As soon as they left last March, the date was set for their return visit to RAF Alconbury in February 2015. This time Alex was able to join the workshop and the performance as he was old enough, despite the fact that he goes to the school off base.
Here is a picture of all the kids involved.
And unfortunately, this blogging program doesn't let me crop the picture..or I can't figure it out...
I signed up to volunteer as a chaperone for a couple of hours during the rehearsals, so I took a few pictures of the kids. Here is Katya's blue group.
And here is Alex's purple group (the youngest kids).
The Young Americans spent a whole Thursday afternoon and Friday all day to work with the kids. Katya and Alex got solo parts in the show and were very excited to show off on Saturday nigh.
Alex had two lines to sing and then be the closing act of the movie medley saying "That's all folks!" like the famous pigs in the cartoons. He loved that-haha.
Katya had a few lines in the song from "Matilda" musical. She did a fantastic job!
The show lasted almost two hours and was enjoyed by everyone.
Both Alex and Katya are hoping to be part of the Young Americans experience next year again if they come.
