The
Cultural Celebration.
This is very late but last night I wrote about my experience with the Cultural Celebration for the Kansas City temple. Here it is.
The
Cultural Celebration.
(Thursday-Saturday
from my point of view)
Thursday:
We left form PBLO just before extended day to get platforms for the
choir. We went to underground storage for The KC Symphony and met to
other men from our ward with pickup trucks. We picked up some from
there and took them to the auditorium. Then we went to the PAC to get
more and back to the cave for even more, then back at the auditorium
we set some up before we had to leave.
Friday:
we got up at 5:00 in the morning to get to the auditorium at 6:30 so
Dad could be there to start to set up the AV stuff. The problem? The
people we were there to help were not going the be there until 10:00
so we sat in the top of the auditorium for three and a half hours.
When thy finely got there we did tasks like set up chars and tables.
At lunch I had one of the best hamburgers I ever had and Dad even let
me get soda. When we got back I spent a lot of time sorting out
t-shirts. Then did son more stuff like sorting duck tape and
unloading trucks. Then we went to Chipotle for diner before the
regeneration and divisional. Then people started to come in we got
are wrist band's and we started they talked to us about the next day
and then Kenneth Cope sung to us and we went home.
Saturday:
We got there a little early because Dad had to be there early. The
first thing we did was practices Arise but we could not do is on the
up in the auditorium because the AV stuff was not working well. Then
we were supposed to do tunnel (were they showed us the tunnels so we
would know were to go) but I had telephone hour practices. Then we
did arena were thy showed us were to enter the arena but again I had
telephone hour practices. And then we did props were we practices are
dances. Then more telephone hour practices. I then had some down time
and then we ate lunch I did not expect it to fill me up but it did.
We then got our costumes. And then brother Hendrickson started to
talk and it was not good news the Jumbotron was not working he asked
us to all kneel down to pray we did. Then we some time later we did a
run thru but did not do a dress rehearsal because we did not have
time. Then it was time to go to the arena the dismissed us by stake
we were one of the last we then were there on the arena floor. Then
the prophet came in the place got vary loud. Then the after some
music by the choir the prophet talked we started. First it was Arise
then to the hall way were we waited for our dance then did the maple
life rag and then me and me and my partner Milisa went of the floor
to get ready for telephone hour. Then we went down stairs and the had
to right back up stairs and had to sit in the vary hot hall way for
about an hour the whet on the baloney for popcorn popping, missionary
medley, We Believe and finely one heart in the heartland. The an
unplanned thing happened everybody waved there colorful t-shirts
above there heads and it looked so cool. And then we went down stairs
and went by stack we again were one of the last to to go. And I left
one of the vary best day of my life.
