Bee photographer Darrell Wong got some GREAT shots last night of the "So You Think You Can Dance" tour at the Save Mart Center, including this picture-perfect view of finalist Evan Kasprzak in mid-air:

As for the audience at the Save Mart, all I can say is there must be some audience members with extremely hoarse voices this morning, considering all the yelling for Fresno's Jason Glover. The first time he was introduced, there was this huge, whooshing roar from the crowd that sounded like something you'd hear at an airport. After sustained applause, he said, "My name is Jason. I'm a contemporary dancer from ... "
The crowd bellowed: "FRESNO!"
He was obviously tickled at the reception. Jason told me earlier in the day that he'd been excited for this night all tour, and he marveled at the fact that his former dance teacher, Sue Sampson-Delana, actually closed down The Dance Studio of Fresno to mark the tour date. ("The whole day," he said. "That's big.") Most of the students were at the concert, it seems, more than 200 of them, all sitting in a prime section close to the stage. They held orange signs that spelled out "JASON" and a big yellow one that read "Glover Lovers."
