Live and On Stage!

It has been a long time coming but Valentine's Day is a great day to share my love of reading with my love of music.  Here is a clip of Musichorale's Christmas concert where The Moose at the Manger was featured.  The director, Jeff Silhan, did a remarkable job picking music that enhanced my story and the choir was magnificent!  Afterwards, we heard people describe the show as "high class", "very professional" and "the best one ever" (which is saying a lot since the choir has been singing 66 years)!

Take a few minutes to relax and enjoy the show!





Enjoyed the clip?  We would love to hear what you think?  Leave a comment if you can!

On Stage Pictures! Come, take a look!

We were very excited to get the DVD of the big on-stage debut of The Moose at the Manger.  The pictures below are taken from the DVD and that is why they are so grainy.  We are working hard at getting an excerpt or two from the DVD to share with you, so you can hear part of our story and the beautiful choir that helped add such beauty and majesty to our book! Enjoy!

15 Minutes of Fame...Part Three: On With the Show!

We are glad that our MOO is an author and not in charge of the technical side of things.  She was smart to bring her camera to the BIG SHOW.  She was smart to ask a friend of hers to take pictures of us at the show.  She was not so smart when she did NOT charge the battery before going to the BIG SHOW!  So, for now, these are the few pictures we have from our very memorable, very exciting, very BIG afternoon.  When our MOO got up to read the story The Moose at the Manger...you can probably guess, that is the same moment the camera died.  On the upside, we will be getting a DVD of the event next month and hopefully will be able to share some of the highlights with you!  In the meantime, enjoy some of the captured scenes from Musichorale's Christmas Concert!



You can see some of us moose if you look closely!


We are sitting in between all of the poinsettia's.


Here is Chris, the main moose, on Pop's drum!  


People think this picture was taken for the singers, but if you look at the bottom of the picture, you will see moose and antlers!

Here is our Moo looking somewhat perplexed.  I bet she's thinking about the words to the next song.




If you look closely, there is a moose hanging from that "M".


Choir robes for our sacred set of songs.  Look Moo knows the words!

15 Minutes of Fame...Part Two: The Transport



Now that we had our 65 moose picked and ready to go, we had to figure out how to get them to the auditorium. The most popular suggestion made was to just throw them all in to big black plastic garbage bags. When we asked the moose, they certainly didn't like that idea. Next, we thought we could use the clown car idea, but believe it or not, our car wasn't big enough.



Finally, we came up with a plan!  We had to drive two cars to our concert that night. My husband and his drums went in one car (and a couple of moose for company), and I drove separately with the rest of the moose.  Here they are getting ready for their road trip.




Believe it or not, there was just enough room for me in the driver's seat. 

Stay tuned for a Part Three: Moose on Stage!

15 Minutes of Fame...Part One: The Try-Outs


It has certainly been a busy time of year for us moose!  Who would have thought that a room full of moose in a quiet house on a quiet street would get so much attention.  This past Sunday was our BIG Musichorale concert!  The first decision to be made was which moose got to be on stage.  As much as we would have all loved to be there we understood that 200+  moose can be quite intimidating.  

We first went through our two-step  "Moose Try-outs"

Step One- Deciding which moose was big enough to be seen at a distance, but wasn't too big to take over the other stage decorations
 and
Step Two-  Demonstrating which of us moose could sit up by ourselves

Once that was completed our group of 65 was chosen.

Here are some pictures from our try-outs.











Stay tuned for Part Two of 15 Minutes of Fame...The Packing of the Moose!

Between now and January 1, 2013, 50% of all books sold will be donated to the Musichorale Scholarship Fund.  Stock up now with these great gift ideas and help a great cause all at once.

There is Excitement in the Air!

The moose are very excited about their upcoming show this Sunday! We can't reveal who all is going yet, but let's just say, there will be scores of moose in attendance. We are taking lots of pictures in order to document this event.  This is the first time any of the moose will be on stage!  

Where it is they will be going?  They are going to join Muse the Moose at the Musichorale Christmas concert.  


Tickets are still available if anyone wants to join us!

The MOOSic was FABULOUS!

We are soooooo excited after yesterday's concert!  We never thought it would be so great!

This is Mr. Reginald von Hindenmoose III and his sister Martini!  We went to Trinity Christian College yesterday to listen to Musichorale perform their 65th Gala Spring Concert.  We were so impressed with the music that we came home and looked up some of the titles on YouTube.  Boy oh boy were we disappointed!  NOTHING on YouTube sounds as wonderful as the Musichorale choir sounded.  They sang songs like Majesty, As Long As I Have Music, Bridge Over Troubled Water, and May You Always Have a Song (a personal favorite of ours). 

The moosicians were wonderful, the moosical numbers they chose were fabulous, and the harmonies were something only moose can dream about.  We were so impressed that we already marked the date on our calendar for their Christmas Show on December 9th, 2012.  You should follow our lead too and mark your calendars NOW!

Reginald von Hindenmoose III

For those of you who might not know, moose are very creative animals and we just love the arts. (Art Carney is one of my favorites, but I digress...)   My little sister and I are happy to announce that on April 15th we will be going to a wonderful musical concert.  It is Musichorale's 65th Gala Spring Concert and we wouldn't miss it for the world! We have our tickets and our concert clothes and we can't wait...Did we tell you our Pop and Moo are in the choir too?  Come join us if you can.  We'll have a great time!
