This girl is part of Tararam , a performance group that mixes drums, various other objects to make sound, and dance. They put on a high energy that was popular with the large crowd that stopped to listen. Unfortunately, I missed the start, and with the difficulty of the crowd, didn't capture the best parts.

Carifest is an annual festival held in Calgary to celebrate Caribean culture. This year, it was free to the public, but it had to skip the parade, that normally accompanies it. I didn't do as well with getting pictures this year, partly because the best view of the stage was for people wading in water. I did much better with pictures of the 2008 Carifest Parade.

Barbara King is a mezzo-soprano opera singer currently residing in Calgary. She was performing at Livingston Place (200-block of 2nd Avenue SW). It was a show put on for tenants, by Bentall, who runs the office complex. She's an exceptional singer, who can carry her voice very far, while maintaining amazing quality.

This is my picture of the band House Doctors at Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary, Alberta. Unfortunately, lighting was rather difficult for my camera, and none of my shots turned out that great. I saw the same band on August 25, 2008 at the Eau Claire Y. The concert here at Olympic Plaza, to me, was higher quality, with better sound; I assume due to a better setup.

This is one of the pictures I took of a gathering of buskers and city representitives, to discuss new rules for buskers in Calgary. It was held at Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary to let people know that buskers can now legally perform in far more places, and without requiring a permit or payment of fees. There was a mix of announcements, discussion, and performance. More information is available on Facebook in the group called "The Calgary Buskers/Street Performers Community".
