The Greater Las Vegas After-School All-Stars were excited to host Showcase 2009! The events took place at the Clark County Government Center Amphitheatre (500 South Grand Central Parkway Las Vegas, NV) on May 7th and May 14th, 2009. Children of all ages from the After-School All-Stars programs performed at the Showcases. Performances included dance, mariachi, jazz band, choir, step & stomp, hip hop dance, Latin Dance and much more. The middle school students performed on May 7th, and the elementary school students performed on May 14th. Show time was 5pm each day. If you would like more information on the Showcase performances, please contact the After-School All-Stars at 702-382-5447.
