Here are some long-overdue videos from the M19 swearing-in performances in Darkhan, Mongolia on August 16, 2008. I finally have fast enough Internet to upload the videos. This is just a sample of three performances, check out my YouTube channel to view the other five performances, and also three speeches in Mongolian by PCVs.
The cultural performances were the culmination of our summer of training. Each training site had at least one group to represent them in the show. In the show, there were dancers, singers, and instrument players. Each performer learned the traditional Mongolian act from someone at their training site… like an LCF or a host family member. Also, three volunteers, who had outstanding language skills, each gave a speech in Mongolian. Read my previous post about the swearing-in ceremony.
