So, a couple of weeks ago, we filmed a performance by Tracey’s high school band. They were playing a song called “Sweet Georgia Brown”, which some of you may know as the theme song for the Harlem Globetrotters. It was a catchy tune. We knew that the Globetrotters were coming to Dubai to perform at Expo, so Tracey had the idea that we should send the video to the Globetrotters, themselves, in the hopes that, maybe, they would send someone down to visit the school. She didn’t know, exactly, where to send the video, so she just sent it to the “info@harlemglobetrotters” email on their website.

Lo and behold, they saw it, and within twenty-four hours, the globetrotters had contacted the US Embassy here in Abu Dhabi (the sponsors of the event) and told them that Tracey’s band HAD to play at the Globetrotters event in Abu Dhabi (which hadn’t even been announced yet). After a couple of phone calls, it was all worked out, so on Sunday, October 31st, Tracey’s band is going to be playing at the halftime festivities of the Globetrotters show. It’s all very exciting!

Here’s a clip of her band practicing the song…
