An announcer declares:

We each bring a value to our community!  When asked: Who are you when you’re at your best?

The value mentioned the most often was Loving or Caring.

If you stand for loving or caring, then this dance is for you! Get yourselves ready...

​

The band plays a 30 sec. to 45 second dance groove, in a designated style. They transition straight into the chorus. The chorus ends the next announcement begins.

Production Details:

This is a major production, with six sections embedded into one song. The general structure is: Announcement of value; dancing to a designated style, chorus, new announcement, and so on.

 

Staging:

An announcer will announce the values. The stage is the place where choreographed dances will happen, however, others may come to show off their moves. Also, as each value is announced, a young student will march across the stage holding a poster of the announced value. The last dance will features the dance--off with others backing to the stage perimeter.

 

Musically:  Key of C

This is the biggest band challenge of the musical. We are asking the band to play six distinct dance melodies for 30-45 seconds each. We’d like them to use the same chordal structure, if possible: C -/Am -/Dm -/G. Styles may include: a fiddle tune, a funk groove, rock n’ roll, a latin style, disco, reggae, etc.

Following each of these six sections is a repeated chorus section.
