Drew Minard - Billy

Post by porschesrule »

Here's an article in his hometown newspaper announcing that Drew will soon be joining the US/CA Tour as Billy:

This Youtube video has the announcer pronounce his surname as 'min-yard'.

He looks fantastically talented!

The article mentions another new Billy-to-be from Florida. I wonder if he is a Peter Stark student (as is Ethan Fuller and Landon Harris)?

The other new Billy is Mitchell Tobin, who's thread was previously established in September.

Congratulations and welcome Drew!!! :D

Drew was also a winner at this years Youth American Grand Prix in NYC. Several of us attended this in support of Giuseppe, but of course we didn't know Drew at the time. This video has excerpts from all of the winners' performances. Drew appears starting at 1:03. He certainly has beautiful pirouettes!

Here is a fairly recent video of Drew. If he can do this, we can only imagine what his "Electricity" will be like. 8-)

See porschesrule's post at the top of this thread. I believe the link is the same one.

The two new Billys (Drew Minard and Mitchell Tobin) are getting closer to their debuts. Doing tech rehearsals according to this tweet from Kat Hennessey. And that's near the end of the process that leads to debuts:

"Headed to the Orpheum to start teching in our 2 new Billy's."
