A Karaoke Party!

For Juliana's 10th birthday, I tried to find something singing related.  I contacted a bunch of local recording studios to see if they could accommodate a karaoke birthday party and they were wonderful about it!  I chose a local recording studio right downtown Aurora, Gremlen Studios.  The owner, Sam, said he has done parties a couple times but he doesn't advertise them like he maybe should!  The kids had the whole downstairs studio (a large performance room, a sound booth and a couple smaller rooms.)  It was perfect!

microphone cake pop cupcakes  They were adorable until all the cake pops got too heavy and fell out, LOL!



We kept things low-key with pizza and some fun music-themed sweet treats.  Plenty of sugar to get their energy rocking!

the old-school "whistle pops" were a huge hit!
                                                          "happy birthday?"

Kit Kat piano and Oreo records








Some of the girls took awhile to warm up to the idea of "performing," but eventually everyone got in on the fun!  They sang to karaoke tracks and Sam recorded everything!  It was a blast.  Juliana even got to record a song of her own in the actual sound booth.  She was super nervous to do it, but I'm sure it was a cool experience:)


the drums were a big hit
















she was so nervous!  I'm sure she would have liked a chance to practice first

                                                                    "Fight Song"


                                                               " Defying Gravity"


                                                                   "Happy Birthday"



 We brought some door fringe to hang on the wall as a backdrop/photo op.



the moon walk!


even Joe found something to entertain him
















The girls' goodie bags included an Emoji cup, microphone lip gloss, emoji erasers, Pop Rocks candy (personalized with their names), a mini squishy keychain, and a microphone prop.  They also could take home a hat and each girl got a cd from the recording session, starring themselves!
