"Christmas"
Even though we're still in the month of November, I've already been busy getting ready for the upcoming Christmas season. The month of December is always CRAZY full of performances including the annual 3 night Eclipse Christmas Concerts. Planning, rehearsals and conference calls started back in September. Going on my 4th year singing with Eclipse, the Christmas Concerts are one of the biggest highlights of the year. It sounds cheesy, but Christmas is a magical time of year that I don't get sick of.
"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack frost nipping at your nose..."
How can you not feel all warm and fuzzy when singing these lyrics? I love it. Thank goodness for headphones, otherwise I'm sure someone would punch me in the face for all the Christmas music I've been listening to. This years concerts will be different in that we'll have no opening act. Here's who we've had the last three years:
2007-Russ Dixon--------------From the band "Colors"
2008-Jenny Jordan Frogley---LDS Vocalist
2009-Hilary Weeks-----------LDS Vocalist
Since we don't have an opening act we'll be filling the time with more Eclipse music. It's been nice to have amazing artists open the concert, but it will be nice this year to sing a few more songs and have a little more time to get to know and enjoy the audience.
This year to help promote the concert we'll be releasing a few videos to try and hit the social marketing scene better than we have in the past. Here's the 1st video we've put out. It's our "Christmas Rap". We're excited about this video because we're at 1,000 views after only 2 days. We hope the web traffic continues! If you like the video, please share it with your friends. Even if you have to wait till AFTER Thanksgiving...I understand. :)
Thanks for stopping bye!
