2G with Merrill in Niagra

I hope Alex doesn't mind, but I took these from his Facebook album to share with all of you who might not be his friend on Facebook. These were from this past weekend at Niagra Falls in Canada.

Joys and struggles / Osmonds to share how their faith in Christ helps them battle MS

OGDEN -- A special activity this year in recognition of the 75th anniversary of Ogden Pioneer Days is a community interfaith devotional.

The event, which begins at 6:30 p.m. July 19 at the Ogden Tabernacle, 2133 Washington Blvd,, will feature Alan Osmond and his sons, David, Scott, Jon, Doug, Michael, Nathan, Alex and Tyler, who perform as David Osmond and the Second Generation.

The event is possible because Alan and Suzanne Osmond will be in town to serve as grand marshals for the parade.

David Osmond and the Osmonds ¬�-- The Second Generation will perform in a concert the night before the devotional and will sing the National Anthem at the rodeo July 24.

The event, titled "Overcoming Adversity through Jesus Christ and His Atonement," will include talks by both Alan and David Osmond, and musical tributes, including original music by David Osmond.

"Both Alan and David Osmond battle multiple sclerosis," said Jana Rae Shaw, Ogden Pioneer Days community involvement director. "They have a message to share about daily overcoming adversity."

Shaw said the message of hope and overcoming hardship is one that people of all faiths will find beneficial.

"The Osmonds will honor our diversity as we seek to live out a common voice in response to human suffering," Shaw said.

"It is a universal message of hope for all, no matter the individual circumstance. We welcome and invite everyone to be part of this community gathering."

According to the family's biographical material, Alan Osmond, the oldest of the performing Osmond brothers, has performed all over the world. David Osmond has played to sold-out stadiums and arenas in the United States, Europe and Asia and most recently appeared on American Idol.

SCERA hosts Osmonds Second Generation in pair of concerts

Matt Reichman - Daily Herald

Considering the unending and unnatural supply of music running through their veins, one has to wonder whether the Osmond clan was not born, but maybe concocted in a lab experiment involving the von Trapp children from "The Sound of Music" and the Pontipee lumberjack brothers from "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers."

Osmondmania is still rolling thanks to the Osmonds Second Generation, which will be visiting the SCERA Center for the Arts this weekend.

"The family's spectacular showmanship seems to be imbedded in their DNA," Adam J. Robertson, SCERA's president and CEO, said in news release. "They are entertainers through and through."

The Osmonds Second Generation includes eight brothers -- Michael, Nathan, Doug, David, Scott, Alex, Jon and Tyler -- the sons of Alan Osmond, an original member of the famous family performing group.

Saturday's show, a one-night appearance, will feature classic group numbers, anything from a cappella to pop covers to selections from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat."

"Definitely a fun family show, and high energy for sure," said Nathan, the second oldest at 32, who sings and plays the piano in the group. "There will be some dancing in there. You never know what we'll have up our sleeves."

It will also showcase the solo careers of certain brothers, including country songs by Nathan and Doug, and a few numbers by David, who recently made it all the way to the Hollywood round on this season's "American Idol."

"I joke with people now that I've gone from being Donny's nephew to David's brother," said Doug, 31, and the drummer of the group. "There's total support between the brothers. No jealousy at all."

Michael, Nathan, Doug and David began as a quartet in the mid-80s, and the younger siblings joined later on. Fortunately for them, their father/mentor knew a little bit about the music game and has helped them succeed.

"We had a dance studio in our basement growing up," Doug said. "We'd get up early, early in the morning to rehearse our dances and instruments. My dad told us that if we're going to do this, we're going to do it right, and not ride on the name of what he and his brothers did."

However, despite their closeness, it's been over a decade since they've all been on the same stage.

"One of us is always on a mission," Doug said, referring to the two-year proselytizing missions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Since its inception, the group has traveled across the United States, and then on to Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, Japan, Taiwan and more. Although the brothers love to play to the home crowd, performances in Utah are somewhat rare because they like to "keep Utah home," as Nathan put it.

Children's Miracle Mardi Gras Ball

Despite economic conditions that have cut budgets at most nonprofit agencies, the 52nd Children's Miracle Mardi Gras Ball had a night to remember for its attendance and the amount of money raised.

Charles Guida, president of St. Rose Dominician Health Foundation, said the ball had 800 guests, a record number, and raised more than $600,000 for St. Rose Dominican Hospitals' pediatric centers.

"It was a tremendous success," he said. "We had 300 more people attend (this year) and we raised $200,000 more."

Guida attributed this success to the efforts of the event's organizing committee, led by Jay Barrett, of Marnell Corrao Associates, Inc., and Lexy Capp, owner of Nannies & Housekeepers USA.

Southern Nevada's longest running fundraising ball featured special guest honorees Donny and Marie Osmond Saturday at the Bellagio.

"The hospital honored them for being one of the founding families of the Children's Miracle Network."

The entertaining duo were joined by performers Domenick Allen, Louie Anderson, Deborah Gibson, David Osmond, Osmonds 2nd Generation, Leigh Zimmerman, Tommy Thayer of Kiss, Doc McGee, RATT and Alan Osmond.

The Miracle "blitz" donation collected about $41,000. Sponsorships and the auction raised about $75,000. Auction items included a Southwest Air trip to a Kiss concert and back stage passes.

Proceeds from the ball benefit the Pediatric Centers at St. Rose Dominican Hospitals, southern Nevada's only not-for-profit, religiously-affiliated hospital system and only local affiliate of Children's Miracle Network.

Alan Osmond and his siblings celebrated 50 years in show business this year. Now his sons are taking center stage for a Christmas charity concert tomorrow. We talked with the brothers during rehearsals this week.

You know the voices, the faces, the name Osmond -- plus a generation. They are Alan and Suzanne's sons. Douglas, David, Nathan, Mike, Tyler, Scott and John are rehearsing for a new variety show. They told us it's in the genes.

"[We've] done Christmas shows together with our dad, his brothers, Marie; and we'd never done one by ourselves. So we did it last year, had a great time with it, and wanted to do it again," David said.

All of this talent has come together for more than a party. They're raising money for a good cause. Proceeds from the concert will go to The MORE Project, a charity that helps impoverished children in Brazil, where John served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

"I saw families where their homes were just basically made out of plastic; plastic for walls, kind of to break the wind. So anything that we can do to help people in that type of situation, we're all about that," John said.

They grew up on the Osmond Christmas shows, an American tradition. The brothers say they hope to make theirs an annual event.

"We wanna continue that now. So, it's kind of like the new show in town, and yet it's something that's been around for 50 years," Douglas said.

There are actually eight brothers. Alex is not performing because he's serving an LDS mission in Atlanta.
