They're all local, they have other jobs and go to school. One year, we performed for six nights a week for three weeks, and it nearly killed us. I think the finale, the tableaux, people posing and recalling moments in the show. It retraces 400 years of history in about 45 seconds. Another wonderful moment is when the rider on horseback carries the Texas flag across the stage.
People love it, everybody applauds.
Fort Bliss is in. The reason Fort Bliss was out a few years back, and a lot of people didn't realize it, was because our set piece, the replica of Fort Bliss, was destroyed by the wind. We mentioned Fort Bliss in the narrative, but we didn't have a scene with soldiers. But last year, we brought it back, and we intend to keep it. It's a very important part of our city.
