In Pictures: The Skating Club's Name That Movie ice show
By Jason Portras On Thursday, March 12, The Revelstoke Skating Club hosted their always-popular annual ice show, this year entitled Name That Movie. The show paid tribute to a total of nine popular movies, intermingled with a variety of solo performances. Prior to the Intermission, four mystery movie themes were presented, and ballots were available for purchase to guess those mystery movies and have a chance to win a prize. Incidentally, Jason’s photos are available for purchase from The Revelstoke Current for $15 each. Please contact Pubklisher David Rooney at drooney1@telus.net if you’d like a high-resolution version of any of these beautiful images: The show opened to the theme of Curious George, the first mystery movie of the night. The Man in the Yellow Hat is Coach Shawn Bracken. Jason Portras photo Andie Reynolds was the first solo performer. Here she performs a spiral sequence.

Jason Portras photo Jackie Bracken & Rhenna Secord were obviously having a blast! Jason Portras photo With the magic of Photoshop, two Megan Cottinghams perform solo duets.

Jason Portras photo Sheri’s performance was followed up by a group of pre-power skaters undertaking the theme of Rocky, spurred on by the boxing anthem Eye Of The Tiger. Jason Portras photo Rhenna Secord was up again, this time to perform her solo. Jason Portras photo Jackie Bracken soars across the rink. Jason Portras photo Jackie Bracken soars across the rink.

Jason Portras photo Jamie Reynolds skated in a floral 1960s-inspired dress complete with pink knee-high platform-esque skates. I’m sure her performance brought a nostalgic feel to the older members of the audience. Jason Portras photo The next movie theme was the ever-popular-with-kids, Frozen, featuring a group of mini-Olafs.

Jason Portras photo Alexis Larsen got the crowd pumped again with a very inspired, and inspiring, performance. Jason Portras photo This young lady has a very contagious smile.

Jason Portras photo The second-to-last movie theme was Kung Fu Panda, and featured a great deal of cute little pandas.

Jason Portras photo The last solo act of the night, Lauryn Kline, soars across the frozen indoor pond of the arena. Jason Portras photo What better way to end a performance dedicated to movie stars and their work than with probably the most popular sci-fi picture of all-time, Star Wars.
