I remember them!! I was in 4-H and they performed at the state conference! So neat!

Our eighth grade teacher is planning a trip with World Strides for DC this Spring. I will have to let you know how all goes!

You brought back some fond memories for me there!I was never involved, but My mother was very involved in that organization in her high school years--(1968-1971). She spoke so fondly of her experiences with Up with People. I'd love to see it come back around, just to be able to experience it first hand. Thanks for making me smile!

Up With People" was the name of both an organization and a performance event popular in the U.S. beginning in 1968 and continuing through the 1970s. The performance traveled around the country, playing in modest venues — school gymnasiums, hockey arenas, and the like. Approximately 40 volunteer student performers presented upbeat songs using vocal soloists, a choir, electric guitars, and other instruments. The music was accompanied by choreographed dance.

With that said...I have such fond memories of this group coming in grade school, we'd all sing their songs on the bus and it was such a positive message.

UP WITH PEOPLE has now become yhe WorldSmart leadership program and is not in the entertainment business anymore...

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a group similiar to what they used to be....singng, entertaining, positive message, etc.

Ideas? We're in Eastern PA.
Thanks!
