The 98th Annual Springfield College Exhibition Show, a.k.a. The Homeshow, featuring the Tableaux number which has been done for all 98 years.
Tableaux 2006
The theme this year will be “extreme sports” (of course focusing on “extreme gymnastics”).
The show is a hot ticket drawing about 2000 spectators each night. Mark it on your calendar (Oct. 19-20) if you live near Massachusetts.
Collegiate exhibition teams were not uncommon in the early decades of the Century. Such teams were organized to stimulate interest in gymnastics work. Springfield College was at the forefront of exhibition gymnastics.
