Guests - The King Boys

Young people can be really expressive on the stage when there are good teachers and enough determination. The King Boys - Emil Mangulis (11), Jurgis Silins (13) and Kristaps Sherps (11) from the city of Ogre are trained by Linda and Arthur Mangulis, and they rehearse 4 hours a day to be able to perform like they did in Stelpe.

Linda said that they should be in fact called The King Boys and (girl)Friends since there were also three young ladies Linda Perkone, Una Valaine and Dagne Vitola as backup voices, but they did also their independent performance. Patricia Blome (11) played saxophone and performed a complex piece of ballet containing acrobatic elements like splits and back-bends. Emil's little sister Laima Mangule (5) sang for us too.

The boys not only sing but also dance, dribble basketballs, ride scooters and are doing all that in a perfect harmony with what they are singing.

After the concert, the young artists joined games and competitions that were organized outside the school.
