Video of Somerville folks performing at the All America City Awards

Thousands apply, hundreds get to present skits to the judges, but only 10 are chosen each year to be an All America City. On June 19th, Somerville won one of those 10 spots.

Here's the skit Somerville's Mayor Joe, citizens, and students performed:

Wow, looks like they outnumbered the audience. Pretty cool, though. I like the T-shirts.

Well, you perform for the judges. Anyone else in the audience area is gravy.

In fact, they stayed in the auditorium for most of the other presentations, cheering on various other towns who were in the competition.

The first video will not play on my Mac at all. I do not understand why. I've tried it in both Safari and Firefox and even Opera without success.

The second video plays fine.
