I knew this would be amazing, but the skill of the performers and the epic scale of everything is hard to imagine.
So far, 2008 drummers have introduced the proceedings, and dancers have painted a giant landscape with their bodies. Add to that the display of the country's maritime history on one of the world's largest LCD screens. Oh, and wave goodbye to half the world's stockpile of fireworks. And we're just getting started!
In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
