The Multicultural Festival at the Grand Theatre
This is actually important. I learned many different things about foreign cultures. The Mariachi Band was really fun to watch because they sang interesting songs. One song, Cielito Lindo, was my Great Grandma's Favorite Songs. I was very surprised how well the Lady with the Guitar sang. She had such a powerful voice that did not require a microphone. One song had the Trumpet players hide on multiple places on the stage. It utilized the walls for good sound effects.
The Chinese Band made me think about the people suffering in China. They pointed out all of the songs that originated in a strictly minority part of China. The instruments were obviously precursors to all of our modern instrument played in America.
The Hula and Tahitian dancers drew a much larger crowd for obvious reasons. Even guys danced, which was not the best part of the performance. It was still very interesting seeing costumes that the people from the Hawaiian and Tahitian cultures actually wore.
I caught about the last two minutes of the Bagpipe performance.
