Dear CCASJ family members and friends,

Bravo to the entire Chinese community!!!

We outperformed at today’s 6th annual Saint John dragonboat festival. With our united effort, we showed our team spirit, we celebrated our traditional Chinese festival and we contributed in a meaningful way to the good cause.

Our oriental dragon race team placed ~14th place among the more than 50 other race teams – well done and many thanks to all our paddlers.

Our cultural performances once again were the highlight of the day and charmed the audience.

Our arts and crafts table raised $160 which was all donated to the St. Joseph’s hospital fundation.

Thank you once again. And see you shortly at our upcoming social functions in Sept. and Oct. Stay in tune.

The Board of Directors of the Chinese Cultural Association of Saint John.

现代舞和音乐结合的中国传统红绸舞，非常受观众的喝彩

红绸舞

儿童舞采蘑菇是昨天最受观众喜爱的节目，孩子们的表演，天真活波，帖且自然，十分可爱，尤其是小Tina 第一次上台，动作不是太熟练，总是看着大姐姐们跳，惹来观众们一阵阵欢笑和掌声

小Joyce（中间）只比Tina大一点，也是第一次学这个舞，开始她妈妈还有点担心她可能跳不好，但昨天看到她出色的表演，妈妈也会心地笑了

民族乐器， 葫芦丝，扬琴

Amy来到Saint John才一年多，在本地已经小有名气，不但葫芦丝吹得好，钢琴也弹得棒，真是一个搞文艺的好苗子。

葫芦丝独奏，扬琴伴奏。和Amy从未合练过，就在临上场前的几十分钟合练了三遍就上场了。Amy的音乐天赋令我钦佩。这个好苗子一定要好好栽培

扬琴独奏。演奏了两首超快的曲目，博得了台下一片掌声

由璇妹子和 Lisa妹子领衔的武当太极花拳绣腿表演给观众耳目一新的感觉。

舞蹈好日子。这4位演员真跳出了媒婆蝴蝶飞的味道。自打龙舟节开始，我们的民族舞蹈就开始在当地民众心中扎下了根，深受大众喜爱

演出结束，演员们向观众们致谢，谢谢大家的光临！也谢谢Saint John 225组委会的盛情邀请

结尾

谢谢二位主持人，王璇和高文，给我们带来了一股轻松愉快，幽默的夏季凉爽风
