Concert at Whittier Place Senior Living

Last Monday The Sassy Songbirds performed at Whittier Place Senior Living! This home is dear to our hearts because this is where Kristen's Dad lives! Her Dad suffers from Alzheimer's and has found a wonderful home at Whittier Place, so we were very excited to perform for the residents.

We planned to perform our 30s & 40s standards for the residents. Our program started off with a dramatic rendition of "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" where we incorporated some glove choreography and Marilyn Monroe inspired dance moves! The moment we started singing, we could see a lot of smiles and excitement in our audience! Here is a picture of us with our gloves...
We continued on with a nice mix of up-tempos such as "The Trolley Song", "Well Alright, Ok, You Win", "This Ole House" and favorite ballads including "My Funny Valentine", "Someone to Watch Over Me", and "I'll Be Seeing You". Kristen's Dad thoroughly enjoyed "Cry Me A River" and he began singing along with Alexis, and later everyone joined in on "Somewhere Over The Rainbow".

Our Finale included "Sisters" from the movie musical White Christmas. Our Choreography and Harmonies really pack a punch as the perfect finale! And then of course to get everyone in the spirit of Christmas, we had an encore of "Silent Night" where everyone sang along beautifully. Below is a pictures from "Sisters".

The concert was so rewarding and the audience was so receptive! We can't wait to tweak our show even more to showcase favorite songs from that era. We also hope to get some video up very soon of our performance... we are still in the editing phase.

Below are some pictures of us dancing with Kristen's Dad and another enthusiastic resident named Tabitha!
