AMERICA'S GOT TALENT LIVE IN LAS VEGAS Cast Visited Middle School Art Students Today

America's Got Talent Live In Las Vegas stars Joe Castillo and William Close visited two Las Vegas middle schools today, offering students lectures and demonstrations in art and music, and encouraging them to pursue their dreams.

The America's Got Talent season-seven alums visited classes at Canarelli and K.O. Knudson middle schools, where Castillo described how he discovered sand art and Close discussed how his background in sculpture and music led him to create his famed Earth Harp.

"One thing always leads to the next," Close told students. "Life is all about steps, so don't be discouraged if everything doesn't come all at once."

The stars of the show at The Palazzo Theatre were on-hand after their demonstrations to take questions from students and sign autographs.

America's Got Talent Live In Las Vegas is produced by FremantleMedia Enterprises and presented by AEG Live at The Palazzo Las Vegas. It kicked off an eight-week limited edition run on Thursday, September 27 and runs through Saturday, November 17. Tickets are on-sale now and can be purchased at any Venetian|Palazzo Box Office, online at Venetian.com and Palazzo.com or by phone at 702.414.9000.
