2003's "The Voyage of the Ice Maiden..." our 10th annual show! |
The Ice Maiden hit the high seas last spring and provided the audience with a variety of on-board entertainment! Club members wowed the crowd with performances skated to tunes that had a nautical theme. For the second half of the show, we once again transformed the ice arena into a theatrical setting, performing the popular Walt Disney version of "Pocahontas." Former AFSC member and Disney-On-Ice performer Julie Thomas returned to Ames as a very welcome guest skater. |
