Our First Real Gig! Holiday Style!

(Picture used with permission from Hermosa Sunrise Senior Living)
We performed our first paying gig at a Senior Home yesterday. We visited the residents at Sunrise Senior Living in Hermosa Beach, and we weren't the only ones visiting that day... Santa was there too! We were the 'post-Santa' entertainment.

Their home is really beautiful and they have an upper deck where the residents can enjoy a view of the Pacific Ocean! Isn't that everyone's dream? An Ocean View!

We were directed to the Dementia care facility in back where we found the residents already seated and waiting for our performance. We had a few audience members who seemed to be dozing off, but as soon as we got to our 2nd song, "Rockin Around The Christmas Tree", they were wide awake enjoying the music and dancing! Our audience was small, but we had some brave voices singing along to Christmas favorites, and one lady waved her hands in the air every time she enjoyed a particular song.

The Sassy Songbirds had a blast performing our holiday show for the residents of Sunrise Hermosa Beach, and hope to come back in the new year to perform some of our Broadway Favorites! Kristen's sister Megan came along and recorded a couple of our numbers so that we could share them with you....

One video clip showcases our harmonies in "Silver Bells"...

And the other clip is "Rockin Around The Christmas Tree" featuring our little dance-break choreographed by Alexis....
