Youngstown boy honored at ice show at Chevy Centre

YOUNGSTOWN — A master of ceremonies on ice skates announced that “High School Musical: The Ice Tour” would start in five minutes.

“Are you ready?” he shouted to the crowd tonight.

The screams from the very young children flooded the Chevrolet Centre.

But first, there was a brief award ceremony that recognized Alex Schlosser, 10, of Youngstown, who received the Star Dazzle Award given by the cast to a local child for work in the community.

The award was inspired by one given in the second of the three “High School Musical” movies.

Alex also got to sit as close to the rink as possible without having to have wear skates.

His dad, Frank Schlosser of Youngstown, said, “I never expected this to happen.”

The “High School” shows and movie, and now the musicals, reflect wholesome messages that are commonly found in the Mahoning Valley.

“We’re very happy,” Schlosser said of his son.
