YAPI September Notes
WOW! What a wonderful YAPI night! Great performers! Great audience
crowd! We heard original material new to us by Delissa Walsh,
Zane Gordon-Bouzard, and Lara Hardeman. Thank you to
ALL who performed and attended. The back of Idlewild was full.
A big thank you to Alex at Idlewild for being willing to keep
Idlewild open for YAPI the first Thursday of every month when
they are otherwise closing at 3 PM. A special thanks to Madonna
Kimball from the Hill Country Sun and the Wimberley Guide for
coming to hear the YAPI performances and for taking pictures.
YAPI September News
Idlewild donated a pizza to one performer in each age group who
brought in the most NEW first time YAPI performers.
Free Pizza winners were Olivia Clermont for the 12 and under
group for bringing in Carley Rich. Lara Hardeman, Allison
Lockett and Ellen Flocke will share a pizza for the 13-19 age
group for bringing in Zane Gordon-Bouzard. Congratulations
to all the winners! I have your certificates at my Creative Endeavors
Studio. Carley and Zane were a wonderful addition to the YAPI
evening. Thanks to both of you for performing and please come
back.
Soon we will be moving YAPI to a bigger stage
behind Idlewild. It
means more space for performing. It can even accommodate small
dance groups. Spread the word about that. Idlewild has asked
for volunteers to decorate the new stage area. Please email Brenda
at BFreed1@earthlink.net if
any local young artists want to help decorate.
