For Immediate Release

The Osmonds to
Join Mormon Tabernacle Choir
for Pioneer Day Concert

SALT LAKE CITY — The Osmonds—America’s favorite family of entertainment—including the Osmond Brothers, Donny, Marie and Jimmy—will be featured as guest artists for this year’s Pioneer Day Concert by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square.

The concerts will be presented on Friday, 25 July and Saturday, 26 July at 7:30 p.m. in the Conference Center on Temple Square. Mack Wilberg, music director, will be conducting.

“We are honored and pleased to have the Osmond Family join us as guest artists for our Pioneer Day concert this year,” said Mack Wilberg, who will direct both the Choir and Orchestra on the concert.  “The members of this wonderful musical family are true pioneers, not only as Latter-day Saints in the entertainment business but also as landmark recording and performing artists and so they are a great fit for this concert.  We have planned a program that showcases the Choir and at the same time features some of the wonderful music the Osmonds are famous for.” 

“This has truly been an amazing year for our family,” said Jimmy Osmond, youngest of the Osmond brothers. “After performing to sold-out concerts all over the world, there is no better grand finale for us to celebrating our 50 years of entertainment than to return home to Utah where it all started with the four original Osmond Brothers. Being invited to perform with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square is a great personal honor for us.”

The concert will be a retrospective on the Osmonds' musical legacy and will feature not only musical highlights from throughout their careers, but will also take advantage of the multi-media capabilities of the Conference Center to show video passages from their past performances. 

Ticket Information

Free tickets for these concerts are required. Because of the anticipated high demand for tickets to this event, tickets will be distributed through the random selection process used last year for Christmas concert ticket requests.

Those interested may register on the Internet at www.lds.org/events for the opportunity to receive tickets starting Saturday, 24 May, at 12:01 a.m. through Monday, 2 June, 2008 at 11:59 p.m. Those without Internet access, may register over the phone at (801) 570-0080 (local) or at 1-866-LDS-TIKS. All registrations received during those ten days will have equal chances at receiving tickets in the random selection process.

Not all registrations will be selected to receive tickets, and only one registration per household can be accepted. The maximum number of tickets that a household may request will be four.  Tickets will be mailed to those selected shortly after the registration process closes. Patrons not selected to receive tickets will be notified by e-mail.

Standby tickets for those without tickets will not be issued.  However, patrons are invited to stand by for last-minute seating both evenings. The standby line will form at the North Gate on Temple Square at 6 p.m.

The doors of the Conference Center will open at 6:00 p.m. The length of the evening performance will be approximately 90 minutes.  Seating is limited to those 8 years of age and older. Guests are asked to allow extra time for travel and parking in order to be seated 30 minutes before the performance begins.

MARCH 14, 2008 ~

The Osmonds were on ABC television's "Good Morning America" live from Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida this morning.  If you missed it on television, you can still catch it online by clicking here for the interview, and here for the performance footage.

From ABC.com, following is the transcript from the GMA interview this morning:

Osmond Family Concert Live On GMA

Osmonds Perform Together for First Time in Almost 30 Years to Mark 50th Anniversary in Showbiz

Mar. 14, 2008—

America's first family of music performed live on "Good Morning America" this morning to celebrate their 50th anniversary in showbiz.

The nine Osmond singing siblings, Donny, Marie, Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Jimmy, Virl and Tom, were joined by their 150-member extended family onstage at Walt Disney World after performing their hits "We're Having a Party" and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother."

What started as a Las Vegas anniversary concert has now turned into a worldwide tour, PBS special and charity campaign to raise awareness for the Children's Miracle Network.

It was the first time the all siblings appeared together on stage in more than 27 years. They enjoyed it so much, that now Donny and Marie are planning to perform together again in Las Vegas when the tour is done.

"We're going to work together after 20 years & pray for me," joked Marie on GMA.

"She keeps making fun of me that I can't dance as well as she can&" Donny replied, referring to Marie's recent appearances on "Dancing With The Stars." The Osmonds say Disney World is the appropriate place for their 50th, since they credit Walt Disney himself for discovering them.

The tour also marks the 25th anniversary of the Children's Miracle Network, which the Osmond siblings helped establish with their parents to raise funds for children's hospitals around the country.

"We are very grateful for the legacy our parents left us & we inherited their hearts & we have aligned with 170 of the premier hospitals across the nation & this year is huge because we're launching it worldwide," said Marie.

I wanted to let you know that the PBS special is finally complete for broadcast. It turned out really well, and so did the family interview!

It is almost time for The Osmond Brothers - Wayne, Merrill, Jimmy, and myself - to perform in Las Vegas at the Suncoast again. Everyone had so much fun the last time we were there, and we want to see if you would like to do it all over again!

We are thinking about hosting a meet and greet (date and time to be determined) for everyone, which would include a sneak preview of some of the 50th Anniversary footage that will not be shown anywhere else, as well as an autograph and photo opportunity. Jimmy has asked to try to make this a free event, so we would like to get a head count from those interested. Please e-mail cathy@jimmyosmond. com if you are interested in attending, and include "Meet and Greet" in the subject line.

I look forward to seeing you in Vegas!
Sincerely, Jay

Jay's blog entry for this week is now online.

Also, Jay's middle son, 15 year old Eric, would like to let all of you know about something he's working on - he's really excited about it...
Eric is into graphic art and is loving it. He's been working on some logos, and has come up with an idea he is calling Anvani. His plan is that Anvani will appeal to snowboarders and skateboarders, but thought all of you might enjoy seeing what he is doing as well. It is his dream to have his logo become a skating brand used for
clothing, etc. His uncle (Kevin Harris, Kandilyn's brother) is creating a website for Eric's Anvani line, and they hope to have it up and running, complete with a store, soon. Eric says it is "going to be cool, and just groovy!"

He's obviously very excited, and we'll be keeping everyone updated on this latest endeavor through Jay's website. Once the website is up and running, we'll have it linked from jayosmond.com.

AUGUST 18, 2006 ~

Jay is so happy with the response from all of you about his book project. He is very excited, and has already started writing! His blog entry for this week has just been posted, and it is a sample of what will be in his book. Don't miss taking a look at Jay's blog this week.

JUNE 8, 2006 ~

Make sure you check out this 3-day eBay auction that has just gone online.  It is a giant autographed poster from the "Back On The Road Again" Tour with Wayne, Merrill and Jay.  This is a great piece for your Osmond memorabilia collection!

JUNE 6, 2006 ~

Jay has enjoyed posting in his blog each week - so much so, in fact, that it has sparked an idea to begin a new project.  For some time now, Jay has tossed around the idea of writing a book.  He's decided he would like to make that happen, with a goal to finish it by the end of 2007 (to coincide with the 50th anniversary of his career in show business).  We'll keep you updated on this project as it moves along.

APRIL 12, 2006 ~

Jay wanted to place this information on his site, in an effort to help get this information out to those who may have feelings regarding this television program. 

Subject: Big Love

Here is the link to the church's press release with the concerns the church has.
http://www.lds.org/newsroom/showrelease/0,15503,3881-1-23019,00.html


HBO's new series, "Big Love", is about a polygamous family and is set in a Salt Lake City suburb. About the likely impact of this sexually driven
show, the New York Times said, "We may never look at Utah and think white bread again."

Parodies of beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints occur- belief in priesthood by a man blessing his hunting rifle, belief in personal revelation from the Holy Ghost by dramatic visions that the polygamous leader discusses casually with a friend. Talk of "celestial kingdom", "free agency", and the "Choose the Right" slogan are included. There is a brief disclaimer stating that the polygamists don't have an active connection with the LDS Church. But if the writers don't intend for viewers to make the connection, one wonders why they set the show in Salt Lake City, the Church's world headquarters, and why they included distortions of LDS beliefs.

NBC recently cancelled a show about a dysfunctional Episcopal priest who saw a "Jesus", after almost 700,000 people emailed and complained.

Couldn't we do the same for this show? If you agree, will you email a polite protest to HBO?

Go to www.hbo.com , scroll to bottom of page, click Contact Us, click on The Sopranos (unless Big Love is listed when you do so), scroll to the light blue box near page bottom, on the line just under Submit an Email, click on Contact Us.  Then enter your information, specify it's about Big Love, and leave a message asking them to cancel this offensive show.  One or two sentences is all it takes.

APRIL 3, 2006 ~

Jay now has a BLOG!  As you know, Jay recently began a weekly journal on his website.  Many people reading the past couple of weeks have been moved to send e-mails commenting on his posts. Thus, the blog was born! We hope everyone enjoys this format for both reading Jay’s Journal, and posting a comment if a particular post of his moves you to do so. We ask that if you post a comment on one of Jay’s journal entries, please keep your comment specific to the topic of what he has written.  Anything you’d like to post to Jay besides his blog topics, should be left in his guestbook.  Your cooperation with this request is appreciated.  Please Note:  If you post a comment that does not relate to one of Jay’s journal entries, it will be deleted.  Please remember to post general messages to Jay in his guestbook.  We hope you enjoy Jay’s Blog as we give this new format a try.

Just an FYI...if you enjoyed the "Inside The Osmonds" movie website from a few years back, it now has a home on Jay's website.  So, if you ever feel like taking a look back at the making of this "made for television" movie, you now can find it right here on Jay's site.

Keep an Eye Out...The sticks used by Jay when he played his drum solo at the last show on the 2006 U.K. Tour in Birmingham, are going to be auctioned off soon!  We'll keep you posted on this.  Remember, this is the show that was filmed for the upcoming DVD of this tour - so these sticks will be quite collectible!

FEBRUARY 3, 2005 ~

March 2nd will be here before we know it, which means Jay's birthday is fast approaching.  For his 50th birthday last year, with the help of many of you, a "50 Years of Memories" scrapbook project was created and given to Jay.  He loved it!  This year, I am creating a special birthday webpage for him, which will be linked on his website March 2nd. 

Your help is needed to make this happen!  During the month of February, contributions to this webpage should be e-mailed to: terri@jayosmond.com (please put "Birthday Webpage" in the subject line of your e-mail).  Please send the following:

- Your own birthday greeting to Jay (in 50 words or less please).  Make sure you include at least your first name, and where you are from.

- If you have a picture of yourself with Jay, you can also e-mail that with your greeting (one picture per person please).  Your picture will be inserted next to your greeting, so Jay can see just who you are when he reads your message.

Remember, you have just the month of February to submit. This information will also be posted on Jay's news webpage - please share it with your friends so that we can put together a great birthday webpage for Jay's 51st!
 

JANUARY 23, 2006 ~

Jay is adding a new feature to his website that is going to mean a lot to him.  It is our hope that all of you will find it to be a place you will look forward to visiting regularly.  We will be devoting a new section on www.jayosmond.com called "Jay's Journal."  Once a week, Jay plans to write a journal entry for insertion on his website each Monday.  These writings from Jay will be a sharing of his inner-thoughts, beliefs, feelings and hopes - and we hope it will become a place you frequent, and perhaps find inspirational.

Jay wanted to start his new online journal by reiterating a story he recently shared on his site.  Following The Osmond Brothers' 2006 U.K. Tour, Jay will begin making weekly entries.  An announcement will be made on the os-info e-mail list when Jay's weekly journal entries begin.

There are just 20 - YES 20 - copies of Jay's solo cassette "It's About Time" left!  Now is your last chance to get one of the remaining copies - these will not be made available again!  Click here!

As you have probably heard, Jay and Wayne will be joining Jimmy in Broadway's Spirit of Christmas. The shows will be performed at The Branson Variety Theater, 2701 West Highway 76 in Branson, and will open November 1, 2005, running through December 10th.

APRIL 14, 2005 ~

I wanted to let everyone know that Jay received his 50th birthday scrapbooks this past Tuesday. I had hoped to be able to present the scrapbooks to him at one of the upcoming concerts, but ended up having to send the scrapbooks to his home. That probably worked out for the best, since the box was quite heavy, and would have been a bit of an inconvenience for Jay as he traveled, and I didn't want anything to happen to the books in transit.

He was absolutely ecstatic!
Jay's message...
"You not only made my day, you made the last 50 years available to me and my family! How did you know that would brighten my day? Thank you to you, Jeff, your dad, Pam, and all the other amazing people who were a part of this! My 50th birthday is complete!"

The DVD of the scrapbooks will be available on Jay's site soon. Jay said to tell all of you that he is taking pictures with his family tonight with the scrapbooks, and we will incorporate a photo or two into the cover of the DVD. It is my plan that every DVD cover will be hand-signed by Jay.

The DVD not only pictures every page in the books, but it also has special "Jay" music in the background. I really think everyone will love this DVD! Even if you didn't contribute a page to the books, you will want a copy of this DVD. It is a great documentation of Jay memories and events over the past 50 years. From a picture of him as an infant in Mother Osmond's arms...to the broken nose incident...meeting the Queen...posing with Eddie Foy, Jr., Andy Williams, George Burns...a wedding photo with Kandilyn...an early family photo of Jay, Kandilyn and their boys...some old family photos from Jay's personal collection, etc., etc. You won't want to miss this!

I'll keep everyone updated here on Jay's site, and through the Osmond Brothers' forum and e-mail list as to when the DVD will be available. Also, Jason's band's CD is at the manufacturer right now, so it won't be long for that to be available as well. I'll also have a limited edition of autographed buttons of Jay at the drums. So keep an eye out...there is a lot of "Jay fun" to come your way soon!

Terri
Personal Assistant to Jay Osmond
