Haylee and Tanner's performing group, the "Young Americans," traveled to St. George and Las Vegas to perform at several venues, including the pre-show at the Tuacahn Theater and the Adventure Dome inside Circus Circus Hotel. I went as a chaperone and we had a terrific time! Tanner's solo was "Under the Sea" from "The Little Mermaid," and Haylee's solos included "Hero" by Mariah Carey and "A Star is Born" from Disney's Hercules. The performers had the opportunity to take a couple of workshops at the Tuacahn Center for the Performing Arts, which was a highlight. They also got to play, eat junk food, stay up late, and talk, talk, talk! We all got great seats at Tuacahn for "Cinderella" and "My Fair Lady."

The kids came home with stronger friendships with their group mates and stronger bonds with their teachers as well. BRAVO!!!
