The name Disney is synonymous with
entertainment. A couple months ago, Gayle shared her story of how
Disney takes young performers, nurtures and trains them for a week,
and then gives them a chance to perform at Disneyland with the Disney Performing Arts Conservatory. At Walt Disney
World, bands from across the country can be seen marching down Main
Street in a pre-parade or entertaining the crowds, along with show
choirs at Downtown Disney. Some of these young entertainers go on to
become the singers and dancers you now see in the 3 o'clock parade.
Now, I would like you to think of the
time & effort that these performers put in. Daily shows and
rehearsals, weeks & months of practice, and years of voice and
dance lessons. They are truly dedicated to their art, and you better
believe how proud they are to say they perform at Disney! Then, there
is the unsung hero. The parents who, week after week, year after
year, have paid for the voice lessons, sat through never ending
rehearsals, driven to every practice, and dried the tears or offered
a consoling hug when their child didn't make the cut.
