Good Ol' Harmony

2008.07.11
Miss Washington. Our representative to the Miss USA pageant!



Perhaps not the most glamorous portrait she's ever taken, but I had to shoot quickly for our son Connor! =)

Fellow Photobloggers!!!! It was almost a photoblog reuinion at the park!

The Coats Vocal Band ... gettin ready to WOW the croud.


If you check out her blog TamaraHarden, I'm not sure even posted any pics of the Band! Yours truly seemed to get his ugly mug on there though many, many times!

Heid thinks the Coats are "Hot" ... and I don't mean they sound good! =)










Gangstas! bettyluvsduncan, jodycmoore, and TamaraHarden

Connor and the Lead singer of the Coats.

Jamie and Reilley after the show!

Tonight began our city's "Concert in the Park Series" - A Thursday night occurrence during the summer months. To start off the series, we rounded up the representative of the Miss USA pageant from Washington, followed by the night's main attraction (some may debate the attraction!) "The Coats".

The Coats are a nationally recognized A Capella Vocal Band from right here in Puyallup, Wa. In fact, I went to High School with the lead of the group, way back when. If these guys ever come around your town, and they do travel the country, please you owe it to yourself to go hear them. they're awesome.

There were a bunch of the blogging community there ... although they seemed to take FAR too many pics of yours truly and not nearly enough of the people that were performing. Some may think, by looking at their pics, that I was the one performing! =)

Be sure to check out the images from Jody, Kevin, Tami,
and Heidi for more great images of the evening. Especially if you want a good laugh at MY expense! ;)

focussed What a great fun set. Looks like a blast and a little something for everyone in there.
I have to say, #19 just cracked me up. I never knew Tamara and Heidi were such a homies! Im gonna have to watch what I say from here on in obviously or I could end up in the midst of a drive by!!! :P
Technically wonderful as always so I wont bother to comment on that aspect ;)
Im off to check out everyone else's shots of the day...

TamaraHarden Oh, Mat, I didn't bother to take any shots of the group. I was too busy taking MOVIES of them, which you'll find on youtube. I knew with that distance, you and Heidi, with your "big guns" would get the best pics anyway. It was fun shooting you too in your element.

TheCrazyCroat Super duper series! I've really enjoyed seeing all of the different shots from you family. The gangstas are hysterical! Glad to see you post a few shots of Miss Washington. Sounds like you were very excited to shoot her.

Wonderful and enjoyable series!

jodycmoore Well all I can say is, I had fun, I was into the music, and Heidi is right , they are hot! They sing so good together, and their voices harmonize perfectly. I still cant believe they made all those sounds with thier voices though....you got some great shots, its nice to see what they actually look like too. See you there next time!

kimauman You guys looked like you had an absolute blast! Your camera is really good--crisp, clear shots.

mowestlan Summer's such a fun time for these kinds of events--and Connor--as Wayne and Garth might say, "She's beautyqueenalicious!"
mowestlan · 2008-07-13: 14:09
etodd80 Cool shots, looks like a great time! The Coats are awesome, we have seen them a few times over the years. I think almost everyone in this area knows about them and enjoys their performances. I used to take tennis lessons in high school from Jamie.
etodd80 · 2008-07-14: 13:59
picturemom Looks like a great time and as always your shots are so good, almost like being there!
