Last week I had the privilege of being included in a HUGE surprise party. The surprise was for the YMCA Boys & Girls Club. And the surprise was BEYONCE.
In joining with Target for her album release, Beyonce has been popping up all over the world to promote “4″. However, last week in Harlem, 150 kids had no idea she’d be showing up on the day of their field trip. Secretly, I knew the plan from the beginning but signed my name to a non-disclosure agreement & couldn’t tell a soul. Seth and I ventured to Harlem early in the morning and this is how the story went…

Food Prep!
Seth (MGMT a.k.a. Yoda)
Looking calm, yet butterflies soaring.
The kids start to arrive…
All organic snacks & smoothies were available for them (amazing)!
I grabbed a banana, strawberry, mango one before it was too late.
She was such a sweetie, showcasing the snack pack!
Cutie Pies!
I asked to borrow some of her smoothie toppings.
Next, Beyonce’s choreographer came on stage to discuss following your dreams & the benefits of being a dancer.
He also brought out some of Beyonce’s dancers to speak to the crowd.
I got a snapshot with two of them, they are gorgeous!
The dancers selected kids to come on stage while they taught the entire crowd a new Beyonce dance.
This little boy was incredible. So adorable.
Now it was time for the big moment…
As the few selected kids danced to what they had learned on stage, a curtain that looked like a wall dropped and Beyonce appeared.
The kids bum-rush Beyonce!
Beyonce greets the crowd & thanks everyone for coming out.
SUCCESS!
A big shout to EXTRA EXTRA for keeping the big secret & making those kids’ years! A special thank you to Nicky, who is the Commander in Chief of event planning…
Also a big thanks to JanJay, Katie and Paper Magazine!
Check out the snippet video from the event. All footage taken by SETH (thanks for holding it down!)
