Updated guest performers list that's been added on the DSC site: http://www.dscclub.com/pdf_files/DSCGuestPerformers.pdf

Alissa Czisny is performing in the Friday, Saturday evening and Sunday shows.
Meryl Davis/Charlie White are performing in the Saturday evening and Sunday shows.
Kaitlyn Weaver/Andrew Poje are performing in the Thursday, Friday and Saturday matinee shows.
Jeremy Abbott is performing in the Friday and Saturday evening shows.
Andrea Best/Trevor Young are performing in all of the shows.

Would love to hear any reports from people who attend this weekend!

I just got back from the Friday evening show. Alissa was perfect. Weaver and Poje held the audience in the palm of their hand. Trevor Young was the star of the evening, appearing several times -- and Charlie White came out and joined him for "dueling banjos" even though Davis and White had the night off.

As brightly as the guest stars shone, though, they didn't steal the show. The show stole the show!

Oh, great! Glad you got to go to this one, MM! arty:

Keep the reports coming!

Math, Thanks for any details about the show! Glad that you got to go to it.

The Scarboro Ice Dance Elite Club is holding an Ice Dance Gala on Friday July 24 from 6-8 at Thornhill Community Centre (north Toronto).
