Countdown to Good Cheer! Day #10/10



Our final featured Countdown to Good Cheer! is Invest in Education sponsored by Expect More Arizona and DonorsChoose.org in fulfilling the educational needs of students in the state. Invest in Educations lists equipment or supplies that are needed in a classroom and a donor can choose which classroom they would like to support. This is a great way to support the education of the state especially with recent budget cuts all across the board even at the university level. Any donations are appreciated and welcomed by both teachers and students. More information about donations can be found at the website provided below. Spread the good cheer to those in need! ♥

Our fifth featured Countdown to Good Cheer! is Home for the Holidays: Give the Gift of Hope sponsored by the Arizona Humane Society. The animal shelter has provided many dogs and cats a home over the past year and they want to reflect on all of the positive changes they have made in those animals' lives.

April's lovely doggy, Ace, was adopted through Arizona Humane Society. He is a sense of joy and comfort to the family and they cannot imagine not having him with them over the Holidays.

Our fourth featured Countdown to Good Cheer! is Operation Care Package for United States troops fighting overseas. This is not a local Valley charity, but I feel it is very important to remember those who may not be able to go home for the Holidays. Donations of packages are important at this time of year especially with the possibility that some of our troops may not be able to recieve a Christmas present from their loved ones. More information about monetary donations and other ways that you can help our troops overseas is by visiting the website for Send Santa to the Troops 2011’s website. Spread the good cheer to those in need! ♥

So Hot Cover



Dez-Air brings back the feeling of summer one more time with the Wonder Girls’ So Hot. A perfect way to step into the feeling of fall.

Hey everyone!

Dez-Air has officially performed twice in public. We did "Oh Honey!" and "Nobody" for an improvisation event. No video was taken at the event, so it will not be going up on our channel. We have a lot of stuff planned up to about May 2012, so please keep supporting us and keep checking our blog for new announcements!

November 2, 2011:
Second show already?

We have booked a second show for Thursday night around seven for an improv theater show. We are planning to perform "Nobody" and possibly "Oh Honey!" It depends on the number of songs we need to fill the allotted time.

All gave some, some gave all. We will not forget you.

My index and middle fingers are a bronze color that apparently doesn’t like to photograph very well :P

April & Victoria Collaboration: Be My Baby Dance



Victoria and April have learned the complete dance for Be My Baby. There were still parts we were uncertain of, but entered the Be My Baby contest hosted by the Wonder Girls for fun to spread awareness of the group in the United States. We did not win, but we appreciated that the Wonder Girls gave their fans the chance to fully express their enthusiasm for their new song. This was not posted earlier because we have both been busy lately with finals. Destiny was unable to participate in the contest, but she will be in the dance music video for Be My Baby in early August 2012!

Love ya guys! <3

- April & Victoria

Two Shows Coming Up!
