Senator Harry Reid Greets Young Entertainers at the Capitol Building

Helen Joy’s Young Entertainers and Tony Sacca gave an outstanding Las Vegas-performance Saturday night, Dec. 8, at 7:30 p.m. for 75 minutes inside the White House.  The age range for the group was 5 to 16 years old. White House staff members and guests marveled at the young Las Vegas performers’ singing abilities.  Scheduled to perform for one hour, the talented youth were asked to do an extra 15 minutes. Before their performance, the group was given a personal tour of the White House

“These young entertainers are very professional,” said a Washington-staff person. “We are from Las Vegas,” I responded.  "This is what our industry is in Las Vegas – Entertainment.  We live it, breath it, see it and we know what it takes to put on a good show."

What a thrill it was for me to sing ‘Let There Be Peace on Earth’ inside the White House,” said Sacca.  “It was an experience I’ll never forget.”

The day before the White House performance, Helen Joy’s Young Entertainers and Sacca gave a private performance for Senator Harry Reid, his staff and some invited guests. One of his staff members commented that this was such a refreshing break for him.

After the performance, Senator Reid gave the group accolades, chatted with them a bit, and invited them to take a tour of the Capitol Building.

The trip was partially funded by the Youth Foundation for the Performing Arts, and Sacca’s fundraising Christmas television special “Merry Christmas Las Vegas.”

This year’s show features - Fred Travalena, Clint Holmes, Pete Barbutti, Kelly Clinton, Shades of Sinatra, Jeanine Marie and Michaelina, Derek David of the Platters, Felix Silla (cousin Itt), Tony and The Merry Christmas Las Vegas Dancers, the fabulous Helen Joy’s Young Entertainers and the Michael T Orchestra.
