The Sound of Music Film Question.

Did the Children do all of their singing, especially in "The Sound of Music- Reprise?"

I'm just curious because I wouldn't really think so from their singing on "Do-Re-Mi" and "So Long, Farewell."

I also recently bought the OBC to The Sound of Music, but I am assuming that the Children did do all of their own singing on that.

From what I recall, the only time they kids did their own singing (in the movie) was for the "My Favorite Things" reprise . . . when Maria comes running back.

From imdb.com:

- Four other children were brought in to augment the singing of the seven von Trapp children - to produce a better, fuller, more polished sound. Among the four "extra singers" was Charmian Carr's younger sister, Darleen Carr.

- Duane Chase's (Kurt) high note in the "So Long, Farewell" number was actually sung by Darleen Carr (younger sister of Charmian Carr), as that note was beyond Chase's range.
