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.

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 m...

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day...."

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day......" Well actually its been a beautiful week! I did have the absolute privilege to play Laurey in Oklahoma! presented live on Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton SA. It was such a beautiful setting to be in everyday, trees, fresh air, animals in the paddocks around and one rather show stealing peacock!! The cast was fabulous, the orchestra amazing and the sound superb (Tim Freedman, Allpro Audio  love your work!!). At the risk of sounding cheesy it was a magical experience. From the moment that Curly rides along the ridge on his horse (an actual horse!) singing "Oh what a Beautiful Morning" people were captivated. It was such a labour of love for all of us, and to see the joy in people's faces was so wonderful. This production was the idea of Emma Knights from Emma Knights Productions and along with some other wonderful people who captured the vision of it all as well, it actua...
