cbc.ca and Bold will be broadcasting the Gala at 3pm ET in Canada. That time will change depending on what time zone you are in. Also, I don't know if cbc works for people outside of Canada. The Gala will also be broadcast at 8pm ET on the main CBC network.

BTW, does anyone know who is performing? I really hope that it's the top five in every discipline!

Usually it is the top 4 in each discipline. But I have seen 5th and 6th place individual finishers skate in the Gala Exhibition. Usually it is a very popular skater who usually places higher but did not or sometimes it is a hometown skater.

Doesn't look like V/M are skating in the gala, but Weaver/Poje are.

And apparently Davis/White are from 'The United States of Canada' according to the intro of all participants.

That kid looks so much younger than his 10 years, but kid has talent already - doing what looks like rotated 2a, 3t/2t... jumping style reminds me of Kevin Reynolds, but at least this kid has the performance aspect down already.

:bow::bow: I don't mind having DW added to Team Canada. They are awesome. I've been their fan since Skate Canada.

Nam Nguyen! He is another Joanne McLeod superkid!
Funny about his outfit though...I was volunteering at a competition in BC and in the judges room, the judges were discussing his Bumblebee outfit complete with antennae. Let's just say, they didn't like it...at all.

From Evan's costume it looks he will be skating to his Hip Hop number my least favorite. I was hoping for somthing different.

Only 2 main skaters so far but I have to say, I miss the day of peppy, fun (and sometimes funny) exhibition numbers. Think of Chris Bowman's Rolling Stones medley, Kurt's Charlie Brown, Brasseur/Eisler's cross dressing one, Viktor's twist...

Bring back the good ol' days of fun exhibitions! No more sap, gloom and doom please.
