Relay for Life

Overboard — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 00:10:09 +0000

While much of Boston was indulging in the city’s vast nightlife this past Friday, we found ourselves in Jamaica Plain supporting an impressive showing for the American Cancer Society’s regional Relay for Life event.

Our set started around 10pm and, bringing the sound of a cappella to the dedicated walkers, we debuted our summer set. Afterward, we were treated to funfetti and some time with the Relayers who were taking a much deserved break. Thanks to the Relay and our crowd, especially the three Dreamgirls that sang along with every tune!

Relay for Life raises money for national research initiatives; learn more about how you can get involved at the Relay for Life website www.relayforlife.org.

Special Olympics Opening Ceremonies

Overboard — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 12:20:02 +0000

Francis Scott Key, eat your heart out!

What better way to kick off the Massachusetts Special Olympic Summer Games than with an Overboard arrangement of America’s classic, The Star Spangled Banner? Friday, June 19th, all the athletes filed into the BU Track & Indoor Tennis Center and joined us in saluting the stars and stripes before the beginning of the weekend’s events.

The following day, we sang a few sets to athletes, parents and friends alike in Olympic Town at the Harvard University Stadium. Between our sets it was uh… requested that we participate in some high intensity aerobics by our friend, Trainer Lisa. Despite working up a sweat, we finished our performance and said goodbye to our friends at the Special Olympics until next year.

We had a great time again this year, and want to congratulate all of the volunteers, coaches, athletes and their families for all of their hard work! Also, a special thanks to Jennifer for coordinating our performance!
