Singing at Soldierfield
Posted on July 21st, 2010Sunday, July 11th, 2010
At Soldier Field with John
I was fortunate enough to start of the Chicago World-Cup Tournament at Soldierfield with the National Anthem. This was in collaboration with the French Bastille Day, I sang for this special day last year as well in Lincoln Park. There were over 5,000 at Soldierfield throughout the day. Mexico won the Chicago World-Cup, but I couldn’t see the games since I had to be in Lake Geneva for a staging rehearsal.
Joshua Smith accompanied me for both the Star Spangled Banner and the French anthem, La Marseilles, as well as Hahn, Faure, and of course Edith Piaf selections!To see more results go to www.chicagoworldcup.com
My first time inside Soldierfield will always be a memorable one! Know I just need to find the right connection to sing there for the Bears

Dancing in Chicago
Posted on March 15th, 2010
My sister, Devery, teaching 330 Chicago kids how to dance
March 9-12th was an intense work-out week as I accompanied my sister, Devery McCoy, dance choreographer, to five public schools through Chicago Opera Theater’s Opera for All program. Devery taught two different dances at each school for students in grades 4th-7th, for a total of 330 students.
One dance was set to I’m Holding Out for A Hero. This is the finale number of the students opera, Jason and the Golden Fleece which they’ve been preparing the whole year! The other dance number combines the baroque composer, Albinoni’s concerto with Keisha’s Don’t Stop. The students had 40 minutes to learn the entire dance and all did a wonderful job!
