sound of music singalong with dateListen, I don’t sing much, except for some very quiet singing at church. I’m not a great singer, and I know it. But I will be belting it out when I go see the Sound of Music Sing-A-Long at the Walton Arts Center on Friday, December 6, 2013 at 7 p.m. I won’t be able to help myself because we all LOVE those songs in the movie so much.

We want you to belt out those songs with us, so this week we’re giving away FOUR tickets to the Sound of Music Sing-A-Long at the Walton Arts Center. We’re pairing the tickets with a dinner gift card at U.S. Pizza, just steps away from Walton Arts Center.sound of music kids

ABOUT THE SHOW: The Sing-A-Long Sound of Music show started back in 1999 in England and, since then, it has become a worldwide phenomenon, playing to packed theaters all over the world. During this show, you’ll see the classic Julie Andrews movie in large-screen Technicolor, complete with subtitles so you can sing along. If you’re really feeling inspired, you can make your clothes out of curtains, too, and wear it to the show. 🙂

If you’re fans of the movie like we are, you already know that this is definitely one where the kids can come along for a fun family night out. My 6-year-old watches the movie with me every Christmas and the music really keeps her interested in the action.

U.S. Pizza snipABOUT THE FOOD: In our humble opinion, the food at U.S. Pizza is as legendary as the Sound of Music. Just like the movie, it’s timeless and always popular with any crowd. There’s famous for their pizza, but they also have excellent salads and sandwiches and the atmosphere is great for families as well as for date night.

    Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
    Brown paper packages tied up with strings
    These are a few of my favorite things

    Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
    Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
    Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
    These are a few of my favorite things

    Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
    Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
    Silver white winters that melt into springs
    These are a few of my favorite things

    When the dog bites
    When the bee stings
    When I’m feeling sad
    I simply remember my favorite things
    And then I don’t feel so bad
