America the Beautiful ~ Harmony

Hi Ladies,

Sorry this took so long for me to get this posted.  I told Mr. Green he could borrow my camera while he's out of town this week, forgetting that I still needed to make this video!  Jeffrey let me use his camera, and we finally figured out how to upload it to my computer.  Whew!

"America the Beautiful" harmony part

played along with the Vocal Demo CD.

Let me know if it'd be helpful to have a video played along with the Instrumental CD, too.  Now that I know how to use Jeffrey's camera, it'll be a piece of cake.  = )

Thanks!

Don't Say No ~ New Video

This is a NEW video for "Don't Say No to the USO".  The end is a bit dizzying.  I was trying to get the four different spins at the cymbal crashes.  (It didn't work too well, but you get the idea.)

Don't forget to re-watch the musical interlude videos I reposted a few posts ago!

Slap That Jukebox Choreography

First of all, a HUGE thanks to Hannah & Abigail for creating such a fun dance!

It's so snappy and spinny and hip-hoppy!  = )

Demo of "Cough up the money"

Demo of the final spin sequence

"Slap That Jukebox" ~ Entire Song

Great job, everyone!  And thanks for doing it a million times!

Ramen Noodles & Battle Hymn Videos

"Ramen Noodles"

Great job, everybody!  Sorry the camera work is so wonky at the beginning.

(And I wish there were less of my voice and more of yours.)

"Battle Hymn of the Republic"

I didn't get it from the beginning.  It starts with the refrain, but I recorded all of verse two.  Here are all of the words:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;

His truth is marching on.

Glory! Glory, hallelujah!

Glory! Glory, hallelujah!

Glory! Glory, hallelujah!

His truth is marching on!

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;

He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;

Oh, be swift my soul to answer Him; be jubilant my feet;

Our God is marching on!  (Do the refrain again.)

Pictures: March 8th

Hey there, swingin' cats!  Enjoy these pictures while I work on the videos!

I know this one's blurry, but I just love Lindsey's face!
"At dawn!"

Sorry about your eyes being closed, Bailey,
but the rest of the shot is so cute!

Don't Say No Interlude Dances

Hi Everyone!

Here's a link so you can quickly find the choreography for the interlude part of "Don't Say No to the USO".  These are not new videos.

Don't Say No to the USO Choreography

Regarding Scene 31, we will be singing parts for "America the Beautiful"; however, they don't sing parts on the Vocal Demonstration CD.  I'm working on writing these out on sheet music, and I hope to have them ready to hand out to you on Thursday.  I'll also make some vocal videos of them over the weekend.  Now, I'm not sure if we'll have much time to practice these parts on Thursday, but I'm not worried about that.  You all are pro's.

Also, keep working on "Battle Hymn" if you're new this year!  (I still need someone to teach the high part to me on the refrain.)

I Haven't Forgotten About You

I apologize for not getting Slap That Jukebox choreography posted.  I filmed it on my new phone and thought it would be an easy upload to the blog.  Even after speaking with 2 people at Cellcom and putting in a request at their helpline, we still can't figure out why it won't load.  I'm continuing to work on it, but I'm not sure it's going to happen.  (Truth be told, I was actually turning the mute on when I thought I was turning it off, so there's no sound on any of the videos, anyway.  Sigh.)

Just a reminder to get your bios in to Bethany B., and to finish up with any remaining ad sales.

This week we'll be going over Scene 31- the veteran's tribute.  I think when that's done we'll go over Scene 30 some more - that was a complicated one and it could use some more work.  If there's time after that, we'll see about stringing some scenes from Act 2 together.
