Rewind
Opening a New Horizon
Opening ceremonies, from the IC band’s music to Andy Grammar's closing concert Opening Ceremonies, really started IC off with a Bang. Entering the MainStage was breathtaking, with all of the regions showing off their pride and the IC band getting everyone ready for the weekend that was to come. The ceremony started with Dan and Joelle giving the opening remarks and then passing the mic to Jake and Mercedes. The Ugandan Rabbi had the support of everyone in the crowd as BBYO Uganda was unable to make it. Then, we did a tribute to the Nova festival with a video remark from Isaac Herzog. Then, an iconic role call took place where all of the regional presidents ran across the stage. Finally, the night ended with Andy Grammar and his feel-good anthems. This is just the beginning of the best weekend of the year.
