BYU Living Legends 2014

(This is the 2nd group of photos from the BYU Living Legends shows in Nauvoo this summer. Click HERE for Part-1.)

Each summer during the month of June, two BYU performing groups each spend two weeks entertaining Nauvoo residents and visitors. The Living Legends show was performed each night after Sunset by the Mississippi on the Outdoor Stage in Historic Nauvoo.

The beauty and intricate detail in the costumes and dance was remarkable and beautiful. After the show, we mingled with the performers and learned where they were from, their courses of study, missions, etc…such sweet vibrant young folks you won’t find anywhere else in the world. We felt honored and privileged to be in their presence.

”Having been some days in preparation, a splendid time is guaranteed for all !”….and so it was! Enjoy images from Part-2…..
