August is Over!

Well I am just going to get this post in for August! This month has just flown, lots has been happening. How about you?

This week has brought on some fabulous weather and definitely the hope of Spring!!
So the month of August has been filled with all different things and as always I am grateful for the different opportunities I get to experience.
At the end of July, I finished that month with 2 fantastic concerts. Soul Factor's "Bless 'Em all - a Tribute to the Anzacs" Concert with the Australian Army Band Adelaide. What a fantastic afternoon that was, wonderful music and a full house, we all had a fabulous time. Was also lovely to sing with my Sisters! For a full photo album click here.  Then that same day I then went and sang at the Gov with the JD Lord Band, which was a great night of music of the 50s, 60s and 70s.




Then it was into August and I headed to Sydney for Mary Kay Seminar which was fantastic! Was great to get away for a couple of days and be surrounded with like minded Women who are excited and want more in life. I am so excited for what this year holds for my Mary Kay Business. It is such a wonderful company and there is so many exciting things coming. I am so thankful I have been a part of it for over 13 years. If you would like to connect with me or try some of the products head to my website www.marykay.com.au/rebeccaraymond  or my facebook page :)



Singing wise I have had a few different things happening, Peter Elvis Gig and performances of Pirates plus my students and Raymond Sisters gigs and that is what September looks like as well!

Pirates of Penzance is at the Port - the production that originated on the Popeye has now expanded elsewhere. On the weekend of 14th-16th of September we will be at the Pirate Festival at Port Adelaide, if you haven't caught this show that has sold out at the Fringe since 2014 then head to emmaknights.com to get your tickets!! Plus you will also find Oklahoma tickets there as well 😃 Yes we are back again in October.

The Raymond Sisters also have quite a few gigs coming up! On September 14th we will be heading back to school and performing at Cornerstone College's Cabaret. Then on the 22nd we are the special guests at the Mitcham City Brass Concert for a Cause. This concert is raising money for Kidney/Renal research and will feature a wide range of music. For Tickets click here

What else has been happening, family time, learning, rehearsals for Soul Factor's For Unto Y'all that is happening in the Fringe next year and alot of growing!! Plus i even sang on the radio in Tribute to Aretha Franklin. God continues to bless me with opportunities and even when I don't understand He comes up with something else, that amazes me.

Spring starts tomorrow! Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there for Sunday.

Be the Hero of your story....

Well after around 4 months of rehearsal the time has come for us to open "Big Fish" the Musical. Tonight is the Preview before tomorrow Opening Night and I am so excited to share it with audiences and bring the SA Premiere to Adelaide! You may have gathered from other posts that I LOVE this musical and the role that I am playing. Of all the lead roles I have played, this one, Sandra Bloom, is a special one. But I think that has a lot to do with the cast, production team and all those involved with putting this show on. It has been such a wonderful rehearsal period creating something beautiful and for that I feel very blessed. I get to sing some beautiful songs, be a mother and grandmother and have red hair! Plus you don't want to miss my blue Sparkly dress!! If you are trying to decide whether to come to it as you don't know the story or music I encourage you to take a leap and come along. This music had me from the first listen and the story is so full of heart ...

Well I haven't written for a while, sorry about that! I have been so busy with trying to do assignments, work, rehearse, sing, teach its been crazy!!! anyway so Mother's Day is this weekend. The day when we celebrate the wonderful women in our lives who do so much for us and loves us tremendously. So what are you doing for your Mum this year? Flowers? Chocolates? Promises you don't intend to keep? (line from Beauty & the Beast hehe!!) Spa Treatment? Lunch cooked by you? Movies? I'd love to hear some of your ideas. This year, as it will be a tough one, the first without Alex, we are all flying to Tassie to be with my sister and her husband away from home.

Of course, as we are there we, The Raymond Sisters, have been booked to sing at the Red Shield Festival Saturday at the Bellerive Boardwalk. We are doing a 30m...

2018 Celebration!!

2018 has really been an amazing year.  When I look back on what I've actually done this year it is actually quite crazy but I've enjoyed every minute of it.  There have been times of difficulty and real stress when things didn't go to plan but God has blessed me so abundantly and really allowed me to use my gifts to share with people and to create a life that is really full of joy. So at the beginning of this year, I actually said I was gonna have a quieter year and that turned out to not be true in the slightest. But it has been amazing!  So this year, I have done Oklahoma on a Farm twice, played Princess Fiona in an SA Premiere of Shrek (plus learned to tap dance), done a Bee Gee's Tribute with my sisters, climbed aboard a Pirate Ship many times, been a Siamese Twin in SideShow the Musical, been an Ice & Fire Queen, learnt and performed many Elvis songs, sang on a Cruise Ship,  sang on the radio 4 times, perfomed in concerts, gigs, dinne...
