Bands Together for Africa

Well we are already in June crazy! And that for me means a lot of travel singing in different places and for different reasons. The weekend just past saw my sisters and I singing at the Melbourne Bands Together for Africa Concert. After an afternoon of recitals from four Victorian Salvation Army bands there was a finale concert which also included the Melbourne Staff Band and the Raymond Sisters. We were the non brass part of the evening doing two brackets and hopefully entertaining the crowd. The concert was well received as was our input and it was also lovely to catch up with some friends and relatives that evening.
I travel to Sydney on Friday to be the Guest artist at the Sydney version of the concert. These concerts are raising money to build a primary school in Sierra Leone. The Sydney concert is just a concert containing a band made up of players from both NSW and QLD. Both the Melbourne and Sydney Concerts have been conducted by Special Guest Conductor Dr. Stephen Cobb from the International Staff Band. I am looking forward to this weekend as I have never been to Sydney and look forward to sharing another of the concerts.
At the end of the month I am heading to Canberra with the MSB, which is another place I haven't been and we will be performing in a number of events there including a memorial service at the War Memorial which I am very much looking forward to.
So I am all over the place but it is such a pleasure to share with new people and do what I love to do, i feel very blessed!

Have a great week!

A Dream is a wish your heart makes....

A dream is a wish you heart makes... Do you have a dream? something that you want your life to be? or somewhere you want to go? Are you reaching for it? I have had a dream to be a Mary Kay Director since I joined the company 10 years ago and this month I took a huge step to achieving this. On October 1st I entered into DIQ or Director in Qualification, I now have 4 months to become a Director. I am very excited about this, the timing seemed right and when I do it I will be able to do just Mary Kay and Singing which will be perfect! It is rather scary though because there is a lot of work to be done in those four months, I have to build my team and reach certain production goals and sometimes it seems crazy, but that's the idea of moving up isn't it? taking a leap of faith? So why Directorship you ask? I understand leadership is not for everyone but I have always been drawn to it. I do have a passion for helping women feel good about themselves and I believe that we are

MMMBop and road trip classics 😉

Road trip singalongs are the best! Do you agree? What are your favourite songs to sing? Do you have specific lists or eras or styles of music you listen/sing to? For me it usually depends who I am travelling with but nothing beats a good 80s/90s song list.... So last weekend I was on a road trip to Halls Gap with my sister, my brother in law and my niece and nephew. We had a fabulous time singing away the hours to many a favourite. Of course the kids occasionally asked for a song they knew but we thought it was important we listened to the classics haha 😜 We headed to Halls Gap for NanaFest 2019! A weekend to celebrate the 90th Birthday of my Nana Dawn. Staying in cabins and tents the family came from Victoria and SA and shared a weekend of catching up, a party, jumping pillows and bonfires. I do love my family, there is a a lot of us and it is lovely to see the all the generations interacting and enjoying each others company. We had wonderful weather and my sister

Where has all the time gone to?

Oh my goodness, it is March and this is the first blog post I am writing this YEAR!! I am sorry for the lack of blog posts. This year has started off with a bang and kept going and now is flying past! So let's catch up. 2019 began actually slowly for me, for the past few years I have had Oklahoma in the first week of January but this year we didn't have it so it was nice to have some holidays as last year was crazy! But the new year started with an Elvis Gig on the 6th, great to catch up and sing with the band again and then I headed off to Kuala Lumpur for Mary Kay Leadership Conference. I had a ball there, meeting and learning from other Directors in Malaysia, Phillipines and Singapore but also getting to know the Aussie and NZ Directors better. Plus I had to sing in the Talent Night with the rest of the Directors from Aus/NZ Dancing behind and WE WON!! Hilarious but a fab time. So then it was back and straight into rehearsals for Soul Factor's Fringe show

A Song for Everything
