A couple weeks back Mark and I got to help in the Calgary Temple Celebration. I'd been going to practices every Wednesday night and a couple Saturdays, too, for about two months previous to the performance. I was working with some of the youth (boys and girls ages 12 to about 18). Mark worked with six youth from our stake who were our hockey team (the green team) and they played six youth from another stake (the yellow team).
It was performed at the Stampede Corral where they have lots of different events, but it's most famous for the Calgary Stampede which is the largest rodeo in North America.
In all, there were over 1,000 youth (1300-1400ish? I can't remember the exact number) that were performing. Somehow it all came together after all that hard work! Those youth are so amazing! It was such a great experience to work with them and see them perform and hear them sing.
Mark's younger sisters, Tanessa and Mercedez got to perform in it. The scenes that they were in and I was helping with were the Calgary Stampede, the line dancing, and the hockey game.
You can watch the whole thing here if you want, but it's okay if you skip around too.
