On Saturday the Utah Down Syndrome Foundation sponsored the annual dinner dance for young adults with Down syndrome. It was held at East High School, where the original High School Musical movie was filmed. It was packed with 150 youth with Down syndrome and their friends from a student ward at the University of Utah. The evening was filled with four hours of fun: tours, cheerleading drills taught by current East High cheerleaders, tips on shooting baskets from the current East High basketball players, dinner, games, a DJ, and DANCING.
Here is Marci's new friend, Leslie, posing by the famous red block letter "E".
Always keeping an eye out for random camera shots, Marci waves to Mom.
Oops, she didn't see my catch this picture from the second floor.
Here's the clapping and celebration after the last dance.
And finally, the High School Musical poster and full sized stand up posters of stars from the movie. Posters, prizes, calendars, t-shirts, pom poms, mini basketballs, and decorations were given away after the dance to lots of deserving kids who had a great evening.
