Up With People UWP SuperBowl XX 20 Halftime86 StevenOchoa3

[DarkMedievalTimes1]

Man this is so clean and sanitised compared to the satanic and esoteric halftime ritual, I mean show of this year...

[trojanfan1989]

Hey UWP did a better job doing their 4 halftime shows than the black eyed peas can do in one. The Black Eyed Peas halftime show this year sucked donkey ass.

[EddieWakes]

Yeah, I know, it looks like the precursor to present day "Glee", perhaps, but wow, what a time it was on the road with these phenomenal folks from all over the world! I was in Cast C. I suppose it was fitting that Jenny Belk ( daughter of J. Blanton Belk, UWP's founder) should be traveling with the group on both her and the organization's 20th year. The experience was part "Sound of Music" and part "Full Metal Jacket"..LOL But, it was literally a God send to me. Thanks for the memories!

[knightrdrx]

looks like Tom Cruise! can't be...he's not that gay

[Dragon4Fire]

@knightrdrx Hell, the Village People weren't either!

[Halo2588]

Early 80's &70's were better

[kingofkards91]

Lynne Morris was the one who produced this and also produced the show in my cast A2010 :)

[amdg607]

This is so cool!  I remember as kid hosting this cast in our city when they came great job guys!

[callmesora]

as a friend said about this video.... its the high school prep rally from hell

[SydneyLeach]

I've never seen a better excuse for a bathroom break, ever. Although I would've missed out on making fun of this horse shit.

[JrFLYnnIV]

Too many guitarrrrrs!

[dbookin]

This was back when the half time show was more wholesome now days you have worry if someone is gonna pop out a titty or not

[starsky101]

I remember watching this show as a kid being amazed at the size of it. American football wasnt on tv much in the uk until the 80's Not seen the half time show since 86 how cool is the Internet

[cribbaby]

@starsky101 the internet is fucking awesome

[123SJD]

I was a Marine at NAS Belle Chasse and I was in charge of a bunch of Marines and Sailors who were in the light ring in the top of the Dome to provide the lighting effects. We covered the lights with curtains because they could not turn off the lights and wait 30 minutes for them to cool before turning them on again. Got a field pass for my efforts. Best job ever.

[YTMoviefan]

Never forgotten! I was in Cast C85 (along with a couple other commenters). What an experience! I was in marching band all through school, and getting to perform (even if not with my trumpet) in this event was incredible. Brings back memories and a smile every time I watch this. Thanks for posting!

[mrgregwmurray]

I had the privilege of working on the stage in Tucson and setting it up in Kenner. The cast practiced on it during the day and we worked repairing it until midnight so the cast could practice on it the next day again.

I was one of those dots that pushed the sections together. Coolest thing I was ever a part of.

[AdreaLin]

OH~~ I love Up With People~~ I wasn't even born!! WOW!!  really amazing!!

btw I am going into January 2011 of UWP..

[kingofkards91]

@AdreaLin Awesome I traveld in A10 and it's entirely possible that I'll be an intern in your staging

[usa12watch]

Thanks for sharing! I traveled in 1986/87 cast C and had a great time singing along. Brings back lots of fun memories : )

[GemGirl9]

I, too, was one of the white dots marching on the field -- Cast C 85-86. Such a great experience!

[Trampyre]

I've got 3 of our 4 halftimes on VHS... a glimpse of the 1st can be seen in the movie BLACK SUNDAY, with Tom Sullivan & casts singing the National Anthem. Thanx for posting, Steve- it's nice not having to fast-forward my tape to watch it! :)

[psalmist777]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some of y'all were my 'kids' We were a Tucson Host Family from 1979 till UWP moved to Denver.... Still have fantastic memories and have gotten to see some students during reunions here in Tucson.

Kathy in AZ

[ruggedfur]

Wow, that takes me back.  Cast C85, one of the "marching white dots."

[Trampyre]

LOL- we "sucked" so much, we've done FOUR halftimes, more than ANY major celebrity. We're still going since 1965, with over 20,000 international students involved over the years. We don't join UWP based on our performing talent- we participate to learn and make the world a better place for humanity.

Obviously, for YOU, entertainment is watching Janet Jackson's mutilated nipple... people with your low mentality aren't who we cater to.

[henleystreetwalsh]

7 months have gone by and I still think this form of entertainment does not belong on a superbowl stage. There is a reason why you have not been invited back to the national stage. You have limited amounts of talent which belongs on cruise ship or theme park. Al Hirt, Pete Fountain and Florida A&M, other "great" multi superbowl performers. Nice company. Thousands of children get trophy's from AYSO for paticipating in Soccer, it does not mean they belong in the world cup.

[DaBearsRockMySox]

lol i've been trying to find the superbowl xx halftime show everywhere thanks so much

[debcottage]

I ALSO was castA86. Thank you for these memories, you made me cry as I sang all the words!!!

[wmtell]

Cast B, '86. Thanks for posting this- wonderful memories!

[Slunder1]

How awesome... I was in Cast A86 the year of this show. How greatful to be apart of the UWP experience and changes in millions of lives around the world for the better good!

[mancalminthemiddle]

To the poster that asks what are the names of the songs. The Up With People songs go as "Beat of the Future, We'll be there!, Talking with my feet. and Room for everyone. To name a few...it's been awhile since I heard

them.I travelled during that same show theme "Beat of the Future" the year after this Super Bowl. Way to go "Up With People" So proud of what you stand for' God Bless those that bring a positive message to the world!

[Slunder1]

I did too... Cast A86

[dennydog10]

[ivanaolaciregui]
