Glee Cast Performs at White House Easter Egg Roll 2010

The Glee cast had an exciting day meeting the Obamas and performing a few songs at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, a tradition that dates back to 1878. The event opened with Amber Riley singing the National Anthem. That girl can sing! By the end of the day, the cast had sung Somebody to Love, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Sweet Caroline, True Colors, Home, and Don’t Stop Believing. Enjoy the videos of the cast’s performances below and make sure to check out Michelle Obama singing and dancing along to Sweet Caroline. Looks like fun! :)

Also, we’ve added the cast’s Tweets from the day so that you can check out all of their fun TwitPics and Harry Shum’s 6 minute video that he recorded while on the lawn! Enjoy!

The Easter Egg Roll

National Anthem -- Amber Riley [Full verson]

Somebody to Love -- Glee Cast, Somewhere Over the Rainbow -- Matthew Morrison & Mark Salling

Sweet Caroline -- Mark Salling, True Colors -- Jenna Ushkowitz, Home -- Amber Riley

Smile -- Lea Michele & Kevin McHale

Don’t Stop Believin’ -- Glee Cast

Just for fun, here’s a video of the cast on their way home. This airport paparazzi wins GleeFan.com’s coveted Douche of the Week Award for his “cool dude, brother” attitude. Overall, I think Cory handled it very well. I’m sure the cast (unfortunately) has had a lot of experience dealing with the paparazzi by now.
