WATERLOO â More than 100 students will put their talents on display in DeKalb High Schoolâs production of âMamma Mia!â this weekend.
Staging the smash-hit Broadway musical takes 32 performers on stage, 60 students in the technical crew and an 11-member band.
âItâs way more kids than weâve ever had involved,â said director and theater instructor Jed Freels.
The show revolves around the hit songs of Swedish pop group ABBA, and DeKalbâs auditorium has never been better equipped to showcase the schoolâs vocalists.
This marks the second year for a new digital sound system purchased with a donation from The James Foundation, but the pandemic has limited chances to show it off until now.
WINNIPEG Winnipeg is in the running to be the host city for the 2025 World Youth Archery Championships. If successful the bid could bring an economic boom to the city, estimated to be around $5 million. This is based on an analysis by Sportcal, a global sports economics consultancy, on a similar event held in Denmark in 2015. “We re hoping that by showcasing archery at a high level, and these archers are the cream of the crop in youth archery, they re the up and comers,” said Kelly Taylor, vice-president of athlete development with Archery Manitoba. “We hope that in showcasing archery at this level we can inspire other Canadians to take up archery cause it is a sport that could be for everyone.

Denver Newsroom, Feb 14, 2021 / 02:00 am (CNA).- Mardi Gras in New Orleans has been canceled only a handful of times, including during World War I and II, and the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918. This year will be added to that list, as the mayor of New Orleans has canceled Mardi Gras because of the coronavirus pandemic. But seminarians at Notre Dame Seminary are still planning to celebrate Mardi Gras, in their own way.
“I can’t have everybody go home and then come back again, as we’re trying to keep the virus out of the seminary. Which means everybody has to stay here,” said rector Fr. Jim Wehner. “So we’re going to do our own celebrations.”
