2013蛇年新春联欢会圆满结束Tickets
were sold out!
Special thanks to those who have contributed to the show!
“The best show ever from NWCS!”
That’s
the compliment we heard the most after the show. A three months long
preparation has paid off. Our audiences have been amazed by the hand
selected 23 programs performed by NWCS students from Grade
Pre-K to High school, their parents and our invited special
guest-performers. We received so many applauds from the audience and saw
so many hugs on the stage at the closing between the performers and
volunteers. Everyone was super happy with the great success.
I would like to share with you the excitement by showing you just a few
feedback we received from emails, phone calls in the last few days
after the event: “周日和家人朋友一起看了学校的演出，大家都非常喜欢。这场节目从整体规划构思，背景灯光等都方面都非常出色，而且绝大部分是学校孩子和家长的节目，真是了不起，可见组织者一定花了不少功夫.”
“Yes, (Being a MC) this was so fun
J I would gladly do it again (next year).” “Thanks for the clear instructions and excellent coordination (for us performers)
that made such a great show possible.” “中文学校的春晚越办越好.挺像个样子!“
“ 晚会后的那晚上，我班的演员们和老师都兴奋得睡不着觉.
这次晚会的主题想得真好，含义深刻，对我们这些家长和老师来说孩子的确是我们的未来.”
“Just want to let you know that my family went to see the show
yesterday
and we really like it! It's the best NWCS show ever! It's very
well organized and directed with so many parents' and kids' quality
programs on stage.
Congratulations!” “节目单设计得很专业，有价值感.”“每个节目的服装都那么漂亮。小小的孩子们虽跳不齐，但也可爱极了.”
“It’s an outstanding show! Chinese kids are so talented. China is the
future and we see that presented through the show tonight.”
Besides
all the hard work from our children, their parents, and the teachers,
the success also comes with great passion and tireless efforts from the
volunteers.
认真热忱，无私贡献的义工是真正的幕后英雄！Without
these true heroes behind the curtain, this show will not reach the
standard we dare to dream. Please
allow me, as the Chair of the CNY Committee, to give my heartfelt
biggest THANKS to the following heroes who did excellent job from
planning, rehearsing to the show onsite management:
