The MMVS Spring Showcase was, of course, dude awesome. You all showed the world your talent, your composure, your professionalism and your great personalities. As always, I'm honored to be a part of your musical journey!
For those of you who weren't there, or those (like me) who can't get enough of it, there are several videos of MMVS showcase performances on my youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/melmmvs
The best moment for us all was paying tribute to two of our favorite MMVSers with this surprise mash-up in the grand finale!
MMVS Mash-Up: "California" by Brian Dolzani & "Famous" by Mike Falzone
Showcase preparation is on! I love it. I love seeing your faces light up when you realize how awesome the other singer is next to you... this person whom you barely know who is suddenly your partner in this experience. The duets and trios that are coming together for this show are so dude awesome... I don't know what we would have called it if "dude awesome" didn't become a thing. I guess we'd have to go with "mad mint, yo."
SHOWCASE DATE / TIME / LOCATION
Saturday, May 21, 2011, 1pm (singers must arrive by 12pm) @ Daniel Street Club, Milford, CT. Performers should plan to be there the entire show, sitting/standing toward the front of the room with the other singers. All MMVSers will participate in a group song at the end.
SHOWCASE TICKETS
There is NO LIMIT to the number of tickets per family. Invite your friends and neighbors! I will have some tickets at MMVS for sale as soon as they are printed by the venue. Daniel Street will also be selling them directly. Tickets are $8 each. Singers do need tickets, along with friends and family.

Everyone should sign up for one of the following rehearsals (not both), to go over the group song we'll sing at the end of the show:

In other news... Please help me congratulate the MMVS student of the month, Michael Orent!
