We had corresponded via email about the live music group to complement the Red Carpet Fanfare Band. Janet had asked if we could play music from the movies and we found a trios book of fairly straightforward arrangements - there were various books with the same parts for different instruments, so I bought the violin and flute book while Mary bought the flute book. Mary also sent us one piece via email which we printed out and she brought a book of Harry Potter tunes for us to sight read. We decided to play one piece before the starter, one before the main course and one before the pudding / dessert. We had such fun rehearsing together for 30 minutes having rehearsed separately because of the big pond between the UK and USA.
Our trio started with Harry Potter - Hedwig's theme (starter), then played Hallelujah from Shrek (main course) then played Raiders March from Raiders of the Lost Ark (pudding). People seemed to enjoy it and Alan filmed us playing for dinner and shared the videos with the Sasha Morgenthaler group on Facebook.

After dinner Dee gave the second talk about Sasha eyes following Jocelyn's talk the previous evening - this time all about the Gotz eyes. The other display at the SCW was a long table of serie (production) Sasha dolls of all the different eye styles and production periods. It was really interesting to see how the eye styles had changed over time on the serie dolls of the Gotz, Frido and Trendon productions.

During dinner there was also time for a bit more hair styling - my girl did a fishtail plait for Laura's beautiful Sasha doll.

Thank you so much for this Anna!!i loved playing music with you and Rosie! I think we may have started a tradition!!
I have to say that the musical trio really made the event. I loved how you all played together and can't believe you just had 30 minutes of practice. Every tune was so polished and perfect to hear between each course at dinner. Now I think you have all set a precedent!
Well done on playing so well together when only able to have 30 minutes practice. It was interesting hearing the show tunes and nice to recognise the movies they came from.
It was nice seeing some non Sasha dolls at dinner, it's always interesting to see what other collect and maybe get a chance to see a doll you are interested in yourself.
It was also nice seeing the range of dolls made by both the English and German production , only a couple were missing from the display due to their rarity.
Lovely to see and read just what I had unfortunately had to miss again this year.
Great choice of music to compliment the Red Carpet SCW theme. Clever idea!
Thank you for sharing the SCW photos. What a wonderful time together with Sasha friends. 😊 xxx
