Salmon Idol 2015

Since Amanda and I were the winners in the Salmon Idol contest last year, we were asked to come back as guest performers during this year's show on the night of October 27th. We brainstormed ideas for what to sing all year long, but when it finally came down to needing to pick a song, we didn't know which one we wanted to do exactly. So we chose to do a song we'd already both memorized--the song we'd practiced and planned to sing at Salmon Idol in 2013, until my tickets to the P!NK concert got rescheduled for that same night so we dropped out of the competition (and then unfortunately the concert got rescheduled AGAIN for months later, but it was too late to re-enter the competition by then). The song was "Just Give Me A Reason", a duet by P!NK and Nate Ruess. John wanted to join us in singing the number, too, since we were guest performers this year (and not competitors), so I came up with an idea to accommodate all 3 of us during the song that wouldn't include a lot of choreography and also make it more fun to perform. I got some cots with blankets and pillows for our props and we dressed up in pajamas/robes as our costumes. Amanda put rollers in her hair, I wore a shower cap, John had on a night cap, and Amanda and I used eye masks for part of the song as well. We pretended we were in a hotel room and each one of us woke up at different times in the night to sing to each other. We had a blast performing together!!
