It's been a busy weekend for the Mixtapes!
On Saturday we had our first gig of the year, and our first performance with the baby Tapes! We performed at an NYU sorority's charity ball, which was a lot of fun. We sang "Evolution of Justin Timberlake" and I got to solo on one of the songs. It was an interesting venue, definitely reminded me of performing for Hollywood Hosts years and years ago, where there'd be entertainment but it wasn't the focus of the event and people would be walking around mingling and talking and eating. This weekend's performance had its challenges, because we weren't properly mic-ed (although we usually aren't at venues like this) and also the energy of the audience was very weird. Other than that, we still had fun and enjoyed ourselves!
Then on Sunday, we recorded some of our audition material for ICCA 2016. We recorded four songs, I believe, and hopefully we have enough useable material from that to submit because the deadline is Thursday. But I'm also hoping that we decide to record Lady Marmalade because for one, I have a solo, but also because we sound amazing on it and it'd be nice to have a recording of that song anyway. We'll see if we need to record more on Thursday. Also, we recorded a bridemaid/maid of honor proposal for this couple that hired us to sing for their proposal earlier in the summer. This guy asked us to help propose to his girlfriend by singing her favorite song, and the girl now asked us to record a rewritten version of "Treasure" by Bruno Mars to ask her friends to be her bridesmaids and maid of honor.
