performed at the Boston Garden before a crowd of over 16,000 spectators. The twenty
member team did a truly amazing performance of their competition piece
"Yeah" by Usher and delighted the many parents, family and friends that
attended the game. The team was invited to dance at the new Boston Garden before the Boston Celtics
took on the New York Knicks!
