The curtain closed late this evening for the 22nd annual Spirit of Christmas. It was an amazing show as always.
This was Kai's fifth year performing, and I still have not gotten used to how well this show comes together. Despite the fact that it changed venues three times, it still looked good. It started in Tucson, then moved to Mesa Arts, and finished with two show at Gammage. I watched the evening show at Gammage, and it was pretty flawless. No major mishaps.
When you look at the show from the front of the stage, it's hard to imagine the craziness that goes on backstage. The running around, the quick costume changes and the nerves and emotions.
So many props and costumes. A lot of hard work goes into putting on this show.
They always have guest performers, Tony Duncan the Indian Hoop dancer from here in Arizona. I can never get tired of seeing him perform. This year, they also had a group of Flemenco performers. They were so good. I wanted to hear more. Their name is Mosaico Flamenco. Here is a link to their website if anyone is interested. I am so making plans to head over the Gainey Ranch and see them perform again.
Here are the few pictures that I have from the Christmas Show this year. Unfortunately, my phone was stolen on Saturday night, and a lot of my photos were on there. Sad, so sad.

Thankfully ProPix took pictures of the show and I will be able to get at least those pictures.
Next year.......Christmas show back at Chandler Center for Arts and six shows again.
