It’s Showtime!
Handout #6
SONG ORDER – GENERAL SUGGESTIONS:
OPEN WITH SOMETHING PEPPY, NOT TOO LONG AND HAS A STRONG (BARBERSHOP) TAG. OPENER USUALLY HAS A MESSAGE THAT SAYS “WE’RE GLAD TO BE HERE!”
IN A LONGER PACKAGE, CONSIDER DOING TWO SONGS BACK TO BACK, BEFORE ANY TALKING AND KEEP THE SECOND SONG “UPBEAT” THIS IS A GOOD PLACE FOR A RECOGNIZABLE SONG TO THE AUDIENCE
DON’T FOLLOW A PREDICTABLE PATTERN FOR ALTERNATING SONGS AND MC WORK
SPACE OUT BALLADS SO THAT THEY ARE NOT BACK TO BACK – EVEN BALLADS OF DIFFERENT TYPES
BE CAREFUL WHEN TRYING TO “FIT” SONGS INTO A THEME PACKAGE. SOMETIMES WE STRETCH TOO FAR
ALWAYS SING YOUR BEST SONGS – NOT JUST SONGS YOU LIKE
(TRY TO LIKE YOUR BEST SONGS!)
DO NOT DO SOLOS UNLESS YOU HAVE A SOLOIST! THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SINGING THE MELODY NOTES AND BEING A SOLOIST
SELECT YOUR SONGS AND THEIR ORDER FOR THE AUDIENCE’S PLEASURE – NOT YOUR OWN!
THE CLOSER IS THEIR LASTING IMPRESSION OF YOU. MAKE SURE IT LEAVES THE MESSAGE YOU WANT THEM TO REMEMBER
DON’T ASSUME AN ENCORE! DON’T MISTAKE SINCERE APPLAUSE FOR WANTING ANOTHER SONG. YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK FOR A BOW ONLY. AND IF THEY REALLY TRULY “FORCE YOU TO DO AN ENCORE – DO ONE SONG….THEY DIDN’T ASK FOR MORE THAN THAT!
