Here it is, the moment we’ve been waiting for! TaVaci starts Thursday! I hope you’ve all enjoyed your Christmas
break. We had a fantastic time skiing in
the mountains of Utah . Visiting family and friends was nice, but the
SNOW was incredible.
With a new year comes new music, new games, and new
friends. We are excited to welcome
several new faces to our group. Welcome.
New Friends: If you have any friends that would like to
try TaVaci, now is the time to bring them along! All the material is new, so they can just hop
right in with us.
Music:
Tiny’s- My Tiny’s will be singing a fun medley of
Veggie Tales songs! We love Veggie
Tales! My little sister (who has a
TaVaci group in Utah )
had never heard of Veggie Tales. I let
her know that she was being an abusive parent by not letting her kids in on the
joy of silly singing veggies!
Their next song is the Navy theme song. We will sing it with sailor hats.
The last song is a funny song about “helping” mommy in the
kitchen. We will use big colorful mixing
bowls for this number.
Harmonic’s-
My Harmonics will sing a Star Wars medley.
I have to be honest here, I’ve got some movies to watch before I can
explain to your kids. My brother was
rolling on the ground laughing, so it’s funny, I just need to figure out why! We will be using lightsabers as a prop.
They are also singing a boy scout rap. It’s funky and I know the kids will like it,
especially the boy scouts in the group!
We will have a troop TaVaci T-shirt and knee high socks for this number.
Their last song is a rock and roll medley. It’s a fun tribute to rock-n-roll. I haven’t decided if we will use proud Mary
wigs or not. Maybe a specialty type
situation.
Entire group- Our opening number is: It’s My Turn Now. It’s a fun song from the Disney Movie Jump
In. We previewed it in the fall and lots
of my kids were already familiar with it.
Our closer is “Firework”. We will use a fiber optic light wand. My Tiny’s will be so excited to be involved
in a “lights out” number.
Specialties- This concert has 3 specialty numbers.
1- I’m on my way 1st
grade, 1st grade. Sung by
kindergarten and Pre-K age friends, this number uses a top hat and cane. (not sure on a final price)
2- A father/daughter
number sung by my youngest Harmonic tunes. Girls portray a wind up doll and her wish to
be human. Dads sing about how
“scrumptious” their daughters are. This
poly-harmonic song comes right out of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. (unsure at this
point about additional costume/props)
3- Newsies- performed by my older Harmonic tunes will be
sure to please the crowd. (unsure at this point about additional costume/props)
I know the kids will love the music. It’s going to be so much fun.
Props- I don’t have a firm price on all our props. This is what I have so far. I’m missing the knee highs for the Harmonics as well as the specialties. They shouldn’t cost very much. I’ll let you know ASAP so that you can plan ahead. Prop fees are not due until March.
