January 28, 2020
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.

According to Yu, expenditure changes are the primary reason for the deficit. “[Compared to the adopted budget], certificated salaries are up $18.8 million (which translates to 13.4%), classified salaries are up $11 million (or 17%), benefits are up $5.6 million and all other objects are down $2.9 million,” Yu said. “These are settled agreements with our bargaining partners. They are contractual obligations and they are the primary driver of the change.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/budget-presentation-300x225.jpeg)

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.
