Libera Blog "Preparing for a Tour"

New Libera Blog! You can read it here. Aren't you dying to know which boy wrote this?! As always, it's really well-written and funny! :)

Getting ready for a tour sounds like a lot of work. I'm noticing the word "perfect" in there a lot. It's amazing they have rehearsals that last all day. Good thing they get lots of breaks. And even Libera boys practice singing in the shower! lol. (Yeah, I sing in the shower, too.) Love the line, "and my parents show their appreciation by telling me to be quiet as they’re watching T.V." Must be a loud singer. :D

I still can't get over the fact that they practice the choreography blindfolded! Well, we fans appreciate all that practicing. It really shows in how great their concerts are! "And hopefully for you lot, the interval won’t last longer than the show!" Ha! Well, the show does flyyyy by, but only because we're loving every minute of it! :)

Good luck with the packing! It's a long tour to pack for, and it's hard to remember everything. Can't imagine that someone wouldn't forget something. lol. Oooh, don't forget sunscreen! And short sleeves! It's HOT!!! :p

I'm glad Libera always seems to have so much fun on the tours. Hope they have an awesome time in the US! Can't wait!!!!! It's less than 2 weeks until the Starkey Gala in St. Paul! Have a safe trip and see you soon!

Another Gift From Japan!

I got another awesome package in the mail from Hagy in Japan! She bought the sheet music for "Song of Life" and sent it to me! Look how cute her pink package is with the sparkly tape with piano notes and keys.  :)

She put the sheet music in a nice, clear pink folder, and you can see that the cover of the sheet music looks like the cover of the CD...only better! It has pink hearts all over it!  <3

She also photoshopped Ben and Mini James onto Japanese samuri warriors! Aren't they so cute?! xxx

Thank you so much for the sheet music, Hagy! I love the song "Song of Life" and like playing it on the piano. Maybe someday soon I'll sound as good as Mr. Muramatsu or Mr. Prizeman. :D 

USA 2011 Concert Posters & Fliers

OK Libera fans! Let's spread the word! These are the concert posters for each city. If anyone you know lives near any of Libera's concerts, you can use these to invite them. Please feel free to copy them and post to your blog, e-mail to your friends or post on Facebook! Don't forget music teachers and choirs. Let everyone know about the concerts! They're gonna be great!

The smaller fliers are for you to print out if you want to hang them up in a church, hotel, restaurant, school or business. These are especially good if you live near one of the concerts. Let me know if you need a PDF version. :D

USA Tour Video

Libera posted a new video for the US Tour! And I like the scene of Barney at Niagara Falls! :)

Tickets!

Just a quick blip...tickets are now available for Minneapolis, St. Paul, Chicago, Frisco and Houston! Just go to www.ticketweb.com! Yay! So excited!!! :)

Libera said on their web site, "We are sorry for the delay which was caused by difficulties obtaining USA Visas."

UPDATE: Watch for SUPER PREMIUM tickets for the two concerts in Texas. These will guarantee a front and center seat. The Frisco and Houston churches are so large that the premium section will be bigger than usual. A Super Premium ticket gets you right up front. These tickets will only be up for 3-4 days, and there are a very limited number of them. They should sell out quickly, so make sure you watch for them!
