Swan Lake

Last night we got to see BYU's ballet performance of Swan Lake for free by being guest ushers.  I had never heard of being a guest usher before.  One of Josh's friends and his wife had signed up, but couldn't do it.  So we took their place.  It is not a bad gig.  You are required to wear a white shirt and black pants or skirt and black shoes.  We got there maybe an hour before and wrote our names on our name tags.  All we had to do was pass out programs once the house doors opened at 7 (the show started at 7:30).  Josh was at the main lobby and had the busiest door.  I was upstairs chilling with 2 other guest ushers since they apparently overbooked.  They were 2 girls who were high school juniors in high school.  They were refreshing and entertaining.  We didn't have too many people walk through our door.  A few minutes before the show started, we got our tickets scanned and went to sit down.  And we actually had pretty good seats.  Especially since we didn't pay anything for them.  I have never seen Swan Lake performed before.  The closest I got was the Swan Princess movie.  It was a very good show.  It always amazes me how they are able to tell a whole story with just music and ballet, no words or dialogue.
