Gorgeous.

Our Talented Sister Natalie - Dance Concert

Natalie did a beautiful job as part of her dance team's Christmas concert! Loved watching her light up the stage.

 

Christmas Concert - An Evening of Joy

Our second Christmas Concert was wonderful! Thank you to our amazing family and friends for your support the past few years. It means so much to us.

We spent months preparing for tonight and were so happy with how it turned out.

Mom and Dad paid for voice lessons for those of us who were in Utah (Christina, Tanya, and Natalie). Tamara was attending BYU-Idaho; she practiced on her own and drove down every few weeks to rehearse with us. Tiffany returned home from her Church Mission in Russia at the end of November; we only had a few short weeks to rehearse with her. But at the end of the day, everything came together for a beautiful night.

We made our dresses (with much of the sewing done by Mom) and used the pillars and backdrop from our last concert. Christina is pregnant with her 3rd child and it was interesting creating dresses that would fit. We invited our cousin Michelle Bate to sing with us; she has a lovely voice and we enjoyed having her!

Timpanogos High Ballroom Concert, Friday Night

Tonight we sang at a Ballroom Dance Concert!

Natalie is on the Ballroom Dance Team at her High School, and Christina, Tanya, and Tamara were able to sing backup for one of the songs. (Tiffany is on a Church Mission in Russia).

We sang, "Only Hope". The Dance Team did a beautiful job and we loved being able to perform with them.

Christmas Concert - the Performance

What an exciting, scary, beautiful night.

Thank you so much to our family and friends who came to support us! We really appreciate your love and kindness. A special thank you to our parents, Craig and Cynthia Gale, without whom none of this would have happened. We feel blessed to be your children.

This afternoon we had a blizzard here in Utah. Some of our guest performers weren't able to make it to the concert and we greatly missed them. Hopefully they'll be able to perform with us at a future event.

Here's the only picture we were able to find from the actual concert. Our friend Michael Burton (who filmed our music video for "One World") recorded the concert for us. Hoping to get a copy soon to post on YouTube. :)

Today we prepared for our very first Christmas concert!

Here are a few pics from the rehearsal.

The whole group practicing "O Holy Night". Peter Bate, Papa Bate, Tanya Gale, Tiffany Gale,  Bekah Ludlow, Sylvia Muhlestein, Christina Gale Borrowman, and Tamara Gale. Yes, we always have amazing posture when we sing...

Christmas Concert - the Invitation

You are cordially invited to our Christmas Concert! We've been working hard and look forward to performing for you.

AGT Adventure - Traveling Home

We drove through the night and it took us 10.5 hours to get home. We arrived in Provo, Utah at 7:30am. Dropped Christina off and the rest of the group went up to Orem, Utah. Tanya and Tiffany then dropped the van off at the rental place and we all enjoyed some much-needed sleep in our own, cozy beds. :)

Dinner before our long drive home...

Christina and Tiffany; they look a bit silly sleepy, don't they?

Tanya and Natalie; still smiling!

Tamara; don't worry, be happy!

Recording the Music Track for "One World"

Tiffany bought the sheet music for "One World", arranged our parts, and emailed each of us with our part this past Sunday. She's going to school at BYU-Idaho, so she made the 4-hour drive to Utah yesterday so we could rehearse together for the first time.

Today we recorded the music track! Our awesome friend John Sergeant accompanied us.

For those of you doing the math, yep, we had 4 days to learn the song, 1 day of practicing together, and then we recorded it! Haha! Tiffany arranged it, sang it with us, and also played her cello for the recording. THAT is talent, folks.

We leave to pick up the finished recording in a few hours; can't wait to hear how it sounds!

Creating GaleSong

Earlier this month, Mom was reading the news and came across an NBC page that talked about the “America’s Got Talent” auditions. She thought about us and wondered if we might be interested in trying out for something like this. We all agreed that it would be a wonderful opportunity for us to improve our singing and have fun spending time together as sisters.

We had our first official meeting today to decide: our goals, our dreams, which roles each of us would play in our group, the name of our group, which song we should record first, and what to do about costuming.

Originally, we wanted our group name to be “NightinGales” because it’s a play on our last name (Gale) and the songbird that sings at night (we love to stay up late!) We quickly discovered, however, that there was already a group with the name we liked so we decided on “GaleSong”; still a play on our last name, and the fact that we like music. 

A few of our costume ideas:
