Sierra Vista Show Photos

I hardly get show photos. My host dad in Sierra Vista, Bill, had a blast taking show photos. Here are some of them :-)

Most of them are not so flattering angles -- but hey, it's a show! (Ahh and the camera added 10 pounds hehe)

I am a "child wrangler" -- in every show, we have child performers. I am part of the team who is in charge of them. It is really fun!

We have a song called "One to One" where we also use sign language. I am one of the "signers" onstage. Most of the cast goes into the audience for this part.

We sing and dance to Abba's "Mama Mia" -Yuri (from Japan) and I love this song because we get to be infront, rock out , and not care!

I also get to wear my Filipiniana costume for two songs during the show. It gets tighter and tighter after every city as I gain more and more weight. :-)


I hope you enjoyed the photos!
