Recording "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Today we recorded "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" to send to America's Got Talent. One of our goals is to sing so well that we make our Mom cry with joy.

We made Mom cry, so we're happy with how it turned out. :)

AGT Adventure - Touring LA and Getting Ready for our Audition

Hello from Los Angeles!

This morning we practiced “Beyond the Sea”, “One World”, and “I Know That My Redeemer Lives” (just in case we needed a third song) in the hotel for several hours.

We went to the LA Convention Center so that we would know how to get there for our audition on Tuesday and then we went to lunch.

The rest of the day was spent touring Hollywood and celebrating Mom’s birthday! We stopped at several of our favorite stars on The Hollywood Walk of Stars and visited Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and enjoyed looking at all the hand and footprints there.

We even went to the Hollywood Bowl and practiced “Beyond the Sea” and “One World” in that beautiful outdoor amphitheater. We felt a bit like the Von Trapp children in “The Sound of Music” when they practice their songs outside before their big concert. :)

We drove down Sunset Blvd just as the sun was setting and then proceeded to get lost trying to find our way out of Beverly Hills.

Tiffany and Natalie went swimming for a little while when we got back to the hotel. The rest of us ordered pizza and watched the news. We tried to get to bed before midnight so we could get a little bit of rest before our big day. 

Welcome to Hollywood:

We had fun finding different Hollywood Stars (this one is Walt Disney):

Enjoyed seeing the hand/footprints at Grauman's Chinese Theatre:

And performing at the Hollywood Bowl! Our lovely audience of birds and a few squirrels loved us. Teehee:

The Beginnings of GaleSong

About GaleSong:

We are five sisters who have recently formalized our singing group, although we have been singing together for many years. We range in age from 30 to 14 years old and our voices range from high soprano to low alto. Our favorite songs are those that allow us to do tight harmonies; we especially enjoy Celtic, Christian Contemporary, Classical, Jazz, and Country Music.

Our Dream:

We love using music to express how we feel. Our goal as GaleSong is to be role models and examples to other young women and ladies. We recognize that each of us has experienced trials and difficulties in life. Even though we have all felt sad, alone, and lost at times, music has a very powerful way of lifting us up and inspiring us to better ourselves and enjoy life.

Before GaleSong:

We have always enjoyed singing together and have wanted to record a CD for several years. Our wonderful parents, Craig and Cynthia Gale, decided to buy us time in a recording studio for our Christmas present in 2007.

Our goal was to sing some of our favorite songs and have them professionally recorded for our family and friends to enjoy. In two sessions in the fall of 2007 (30 Aug 2007, 20 Nov 2007), we recorded 14 songs and put them onto two CDs that we titled, “Blessings” and “Over The Rainbow”. We were very pleased with the recordings and shared the CDs with relatives and close friends.

Everyone who heard the CDs commented that we have beautiful voices and that we should market ourselves to a bigger audience! We decided to plan on doing some more recordings at a future date and find out how to sell our CDs.

 Ending Thoughts:

We hope you'll enjoy reading our Blog! We'll try to keep it updated with our performances, trips, recordings, and lots of pictures.
