HOW MANY?

No more than 5.

Honestly, more than 5 group members makes song selection a real challenge!

Make the song match the number of people in your team.

Yes, you can do a solo act.

Because you get to select your own team, you will not be allowed to kick ‘em out. Live with your choices/friends.

Smaller groups is the key here.

TIPS:

DON’T JUST STAND THERE!

Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse!

Know your Lyrics!

Gender bending, or taking on a character of the opposite sex is a fun way to make all songs accessible to everyone. Hair and makeup is must if you’re gender bending.

Sell it. Make it work. Have Fun.

WHAT’S THE SONG ABOUT?

You must absolutely know what every word/metaphor/idea of this song means. You can’t sing what you don’t understand. Yes, I will ask you what all your words mean.

 

Some songs may not have an obvious plot. Rap songs often are just a list of brand names. While it may be a little harder to figure out what the lyricist is trying to say, most of the time it’s possible. You’re all smart—you can do it.

EVERYONE

Make it clear to us with movement and attitude what your song means. Can’t dance? No problem, find some unison activities and offer cool breakout opportunities for your good movers. Not everyone has to be a dancing fool for this project.

 

Remember your levels and decide when you are moving together and when you are moving as individuals. Under no circumstances are you to serve as backup singers, merely swaying to the beat. You will fail the project.

HOW DO WE LOOK THE PART?

Create interesting stage pictures—remember all our work this year. Ensure that everyone can be seen at all times.

Create energetic, unique, and interesting characters.

Appropriate costumes are mandatory—but make it simple: everyone wears a white shirt and black pants, for example.

SONG CHOICESYes, I chose songs for you to choose from. They are mostly oldies. Even if you haven’t heard these songs, it’s fun to learn new songs and appreciate things you haven’t heard before! If you have a song you’d like to do, or a suggestion, let me know so I can approve it first.

Groups may not choose the same song. I will explain the selection process. Choose your top 3 choices, rank them 1-3, write it down on paper provided, and I will tell you your song.Leader of the Pack"
