What have The Sassy Songbirds been up to you might ask? Well, don't worry because we have been busy birds! We finally finished our CD "A Sassy Holiday" -- now for sale for $10 or 3 for $25!!! Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing a Holiday CD and we can arrange to send one to you. We can't wait to bring them along to all our upcoming performances and we actually sold 3 at our performance last week at Vintage Mission Inn.
We also participated in the Long Beach "Walk to End Alzheimer's" Walk on October 16th. The Sassy Songbirds were a part of team "Upside to Dementia" and really rallied to raise funds and get involved. So much so, that "Upside to Dementia" won an award for raising the most donations by a family team! $4795.00!!!! We are so proud to be a part of this community and to be surrounded by friends and family who really support us and the cause. (Upside to Dementia is the name of Kristen's blog about her Dad's journey with Alzheimer's and you can find a link to that on the upper right side of our blog.)
And the past two weeks our motto has been "Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse!!!" We have four performances this weekend, three of which are Halloween themed. So, we are learning a whole new show and we're pretty excited about it! As we all know, there aren't an abundant amount of true Halloween Songs, but we used our imagination and incorporated songs like "Old Devil Moon", "Old Black Magic", "Love Potion Number Nine", "Puff the Magic Dragon", "Witch Doctor", and many more with similar themes. We are of course featuring Halloween favorites like "Monster Mash", "The Addams Family", "Ghostbusters", "Witchcraft", and "A Pirate's Life for Me". Below is a behind the scenes video of our rehearsals...
