When we wrote last we were in Fredericton, New Brunswick. After our long drive home we spent the week finishing up our new album, then we re-packed our suitcases…and this is where things start to get busy…<br /><br />We started by flying to <span style="color:#3333ff;"><strong>Calgary, Alberta</strong></span>, where we performed in their <span style="color:#33cc00;"><strong>International Children's Festival.<br /></strong></span></div><div>And what a festival it was! We met performers from all over the world, took in some amazing shows and performed for 5 days. It was so great to see so many familiar faces, and people singing along to our songs- can’t wait to see you all at the Stampede this summer!<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/SEXKMsnQyHI/AAAAAAAAAjw/8lSxZwZGH74/s1600-h/Children%27s+Festival+Tour+2008+340.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207790863606925426" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/SEXKMsnQyHI/AAAAAAAAAjw/8lSxZwZGH74/s320/Children%27s+Festival+Tour+2008+340.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />From Calgary, we hopped on a plane to <span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>Toronto, Ontario</strong></span>. Then took a really really small plane to <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Kingston, Ontario.</strong></span> By small we mean 20 people on-board and that's including the pilot!<br /><br />In Kingston we had a very exciting experience. A few months ago we got a call from Andy Rush (yup...that's him in the middle..)</div><div><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/SEXLIMnQyII/AAAAAAAAAj4/sOpcUafqYUo/s1600-h/Children%27s+Festival+Tour+2008+342.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207791885809141890" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/SEXLIMnQyII/AAAAAAAAAj4/sOpcUafqYUo/s320/Children%27s+Festival+Tour+2008+342.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>Andy is an extremely talented choral composer and director from Kingston who directs the <span style="color:#33cc00;"><strong>“Open Voices” Community Choir</strong></span>. Andy asked if he could write choral music to some of our songs and if we would be Guest artists in their Springtime Concert. We quickly agreed we would make the flight home. We arrived and were able to practice once with the band…then the next day we found ourselves on stage in front of 700 people performing "Good Day" and our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">brand</span> new song "Nature Song" with a 100 person choir (who we had never met or practiced with!!) What an incredible experience. The choir was absolutely amazing. Not only were their harmonies and voices beautiful but they danced to the Pirate Song like I have never seen before!! (stayed tuned for some classic video footage)<br /><br />After the two choir concerts we woke up at 4am and hopped back on our tiny plane to Toronto, then a bigger plane to <span style="color:#33cc00;"><strong>Edmonton, Alberta</strong></span>, where we have been performing in the <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>St. Albert Children’s Festival.<br /></strong></span><br />We were so excited to be a part of this festival again this year. As well as doing daily shows, we were a part of the Festival Finale Performance, along with performers from around the world. One of our favorite parts of these festivals is getting to meet people, and see their shows. We met people from Africa, Russia, Germany, Japan and of course Canada.<br /><br />This morning we flew to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and will be starting shows here tomorrow morning. Our schedule can be seen <a href="http://www.saskatchewanchildrensfestival.ca/splash_n_boots.html">here<br /></a><br />In other news, our first full length DVD is now completely finished! It has been sent to the manufacturers and will be ready, for you to watch on your TV, by June 15<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span>. Stay tuned……..</div><div><br />also we have new T-shirts!

We just entered New Brunswick and are headed to the provinces' captital; Fredricton to do shows. </div><br /><div>This past weekend we were in Taes’s hometown of Perth Ontario where we performed 2 benefit concerts for “Bracelets of Hope”<a href="http://www.braceletsofhope.ca/">http://www.braceletsofhope.ca/</a> . What an incredible story- check it out! Here we are with Carrie-Anne, the girl who started it all:</div><br /><div></div><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/SCuQLYLJg3I/AAAAAAAAAjg/vX0h8uMTl-I/s1600-h/splash-pic-c-anne.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200408719871542130" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/SCuQLYLJg3I/AAAAAAAAAjg/vX0h8uMTl-I/s320/splash-pic-c-anne.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><div>Together we raised over $2000. Thank you so much to everyone who came out, and we wish everyone a safe trip to Zimbabwe.</div><br /><div>This was our very first concert performing with a local Choir. This fabulous group performed two songs with us: <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>“This is Our Home”</strong></span> and “<span style="color:#ff6666;"><strong>I Love You the Most</strong></span>” They were awesome! We are excited about the possibility of performing with other local choirs in the future…<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/SCuQj4LJg4I/AAAAAAAAAjo/BKhd3i0ep20/s1600-h/100_0192.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200409140778337154" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/SCuQj4LJg4I/AAAAAAAAAjo/BKhd3i0ep20/s320/100_0192.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div>Last week we did two shows at <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Queen’s University, Kingston Ontario</strong></span>. One show was for over 600 students from bused in schools from around the city. The other show was unlike anything we have ever done before. We were asked to do a 25 minute show for all of the Graduating Teachers of the Faculty of Education. Picture 700, adults singing “wahooo wahooo” during the Treasure of Gold at the top of their lungs. The education system has a bright future with this group!<br /><br />For the next few days we will be performing in local Fredricton schools.

Things here are a “little” different from our home in Ontario, Canada but there is there is one thing we have noticed in our travels; everywhere we go the people are so hospitable and friendly….and the children love to dance….. !<br /><br />We have already performed one show in Bahrain and have 2 more shows tomorrow.<br /><br />Bahrain is an absolutely beautiful country. We have seen many amazing things:<br /><br />We found a huge outdoor market:<br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/R9waaRp0wQI/AAAAAAAAAh4/Nj6EP6CLcmo/s1600-h/IMG_7088.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178042710286975234" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/R9waaRp0wQI/AAAAAAAAAh4/Nj6EP6CLcmo/s320/IMG_7088.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />We took a trip to the desert to visit a farm…but this farm had something special. It had over 30 camels including a pure white baby camel… Taes even got a camel kiss<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/R9wa3Bp0wRI/AAAAAAAAAiA/Ax5txhRbDlc/s1600-h/IMG_7219.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178043204208214290" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/R9wa3Bp0wRI/AAAAAAAAAiA/Ax5txhRbDlc/s320/IMG_7219.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />This farm also had jumping deer!<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/R9wbUxp0wSI/AAAAAAAAAiI/f_O8rmXyndI/s1600-h/IMG_7184.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178043715309322530" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/R9wbUxp0wSI/AAAAAAAAAiI/f_O8rmXyndI/s320/IMG_7184.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />We found the “Tree of Life” which is this huge tree in the middle of the desert. It has been around for hundreds of years and its source of nutrition remains a mystery to this day.<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/R9wb4Bp0wTI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/Ixg6-vkVXz4/s1600-h/IMG_7245.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178044320899711282" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/R9wb4Bp0wTI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/Ixg6-vkVXz4/s320/IMG_7245.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />We also came across a herd of wild camels crossing the desert .. Taes decided to stop and ask for directions:<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/R9wcLBp0wUI/AAAAAAAAAiY/D9PMHB5i7a0/s1600-h/IMG_7269.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178044647317225794" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/R9wcLBp0wUI/AAAAAAAAAiY/D9PMHB5i7a0/s320/IMG_7269.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Near where we are staying in the city of Manama is the Bahrain Fort. Archaeologists have dated some of its first foundations all the way back to 2500 BC….that’s kinda old<br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/R9wcdRp0wVI/AAAAAAAAAig/Y2oTKLXzJXg/s1600-h/IMG_7362.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178044960849838418" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PNc8z5StlDc/R9wcdRp0wVI/AAAAAAAAAig/Y2oTKLXzJXg/s320/IMG_7362.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />In 2 days we will be flying to Abu Dhabi to perform, then off to Dubai. It is hard to believe we are even here but we are loving every minute of it…<br />Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying March Break. Thanks for all the messages and we will try to get another blog up really soon.<br /><br />Bye Bye for now!<br /><br />Love Taes and Nick…<br />P.S Harry the Parrot is becoming somewhat of a celebrity in these parts! </div>Splash'N Tour Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10787177611630079702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943778710221185383.post-23459107774031258062008-03-08T17:16:00.001-08:002008-03-08T17:21:48.458-08:00Bermuda School Show!!Here's a clip taken at one of the schools we performed at yesterday.

We were supposed to be on a plane back home now, but since the snow has decided to travel at about 100 kilometers sidewides no flights are arriving or departing ........ we are not going anywhere. That's ok because the last place we would want to be in this storm is 25,000 feet in the air! I can hardly even make it across the street in this wind- I should get an umbrella and try to be Mary Poppins and fly home.

A farm experience like no other.Last weekend, over 50 people from all over, traveled to a farm outside London Ontario to be a part of our “<span style="color:#33cc00;"><strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Whoopie</span>” Music Video</strong></span>. What a time was had. In order for everything to work out many factors had to fall into place. First of all, the weather had to cooperate – being late <span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>October</strong></span> you take a big chance with an outdoor video shoot. However, as luck would have it, records were broken with temperatures hitting the 26 degree mark and <span style="color:#00cccc;"><strong>sunny skies</strong></span> to boot. Then you have to have wonderful singers and dancers with lots of energy to perform the ultimate <strong><span style="color:#996633;">barn dance</span></strong> over and over again. Boy did we ever have that! Plus these dancers came dressed in some of the finest <span style="color:#33cc00;"><strong>cowboy</strong></span> and <span style="color:#cc66cc;"><strong>cowgirl </strong></span>outfits I have ever seen.<br /><br />It was an amazing experience and we thank all the families for coming out and being a part of it. We will let you know when "<span style="color:#3333ff;"><strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Whoopie</span>"</strong></span> is officially released and you can see some of these dancers in action.
