Tony's Spectacular Summer - Youth Spectacular

Months of practice and preparation came to fruition as Tony joined with 3000+ youth from 30 Weber County stakes in participating in "Arise Youth Spectacular" on July 16/17 at the Weber State University Football Stadium.



10 Stakes from North Ogden, Pleasant View and Harrisville made up the North Council, which presented the story of the premortal existence and coming to this earth.


The youth of the North Council are the council in heaven.
Note: 4000 white bedsheets were donated to make the robes for over 1000 premortal spirits.


Tony is on the edge, just above the speaker and to the left of the blue flag.


On the left is the premortal spirit world and the veil that separates it from the Earth. As the youth passed through the veil to earth, they left their white robe behind and journeyed to earth in brightly colored shirts. It was cool to hear the audience's reaction as they realized what was being depicted. Vicki was thrilled to see Tony get "born" in the performance which is more than she can say in real life.


Tony and friends celebrate their earth life.


Tony is waiting for his turn to shine in this earth life. (He is with his friend Nathan on the 40-yard line) Note: The song they are singing is "Shine".


Tony and friends sing "I'll never stand alone when when I stand with God and His prophets".



All 3000 youth join together in the grand finale.


Tony is in front on the football field. His friend Laura is two people to the left of him in a purple shirt.

Megan, Tony and Andrea are thrilled that they were part of the Youth Spectacular.

We were glad that Grandma and Grandpa Haupt could join us on July 16th to enjoy the performance.

The July 24th Church News has an article on the spectacular in the center of the issue.


Angelica enjoyed Tony's performance.
