Balancing dinnerware on a knife and spinning stacks of balls may seem like impossible feats, but not for the performers at the third-annual Game of Throws Gala Show Saturday night at Palo Alto High School.
Performers took the stage, showcasing their skills with stunning solo acts.

Corbin Dodd, an Ethnic Studies and AP Seminar teacher at Palo Alto High School, said that Austin's separation from the district surprised him and his colleagues. "Negotiations are happening right now, so there's a lot of talk about the school board and the superintendent, but it [Austin's separation] wasn't on my radar, and I don't think it was on the radar of any of the teachers I've spoken to," Dodd said.](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/IMG_7950-300x225.png)

Love this visual summary of the event.
Was seated in the front row.
Best audience experience ever-except maybe for James Brown and Aretha.
So, I am in the very last photo.
I am the little white haired cell phone photographer in the final frame of the group shot.
I sent all my shots to Sensei Matt.
Great eve.
I walked out feeling joyous.
