This year our family participated in our Escondido South Stake Christmas Show at the California Center for the Arts--Escondido on December 3, 2008. I (Andrea) was in the choir and a group singing number. Joseph, Orrin, and Amara were in the children's choir and sang
The World was Waiting together with the adult choir.


The adult choir also sang
Christmas Bells and
Oh Holy Night.

For the group number we sang
Twas the Night Before Christmas. You can listen to the track that I have in the music panel of my blog page (black box on the right side, part way down). Click on it and it should play for you. We are not singing on that song track, but you can get the idea of how we sounded . . . like old time radio.


Amara also danced ballet with her friend, Chloe, to
The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from the
Nutcracker. As soon as they took to the stage, the whole audience said, "Ahhhhhh."




The girls were adorable. They were definitely a highlight of the show.

The whole show included a huge smorgasborg of talent. Violinists, concert pianists, singers, lip- syncers, jazz band, brass band, guitarists, and dancers.


One lip-sync act stole the show. They fake-harmonized and really danced to
Last Christmas. They were HILARIOUS! My favorite part is part in the song when it says, "Merry Christmas." At that moment the guy in the middle sprang up and threw glitter in the air. A nice touch, indeed.

When we finally get the video for the show, I will see if I can post some videos on the blog.
