We were invited to Fulbright University Vietnam's Fun Run event yesterday and because music is our thing, we shot this video of their student music club playing Dua Lipa's song "Love Again." They did a great job!

And it's cool to see an all-female rhythm section!

Well done to the band and to Fulbright for a great event 👏

A happy crowd makes happy performers 😁

We had two primary goals that we accomplished with this show-

1. Raise a lot of money to help disadvantaged children in Vietnam.

2. Bring the joy of show tunes to Saigon after two incredibly difficult years of the pandemic.

We've already posted about how we achieved the first goal. But these smiling faces are enough to prove the success of the second!
