What’s Trending Now
Our world of technology is rapidly changing and evolving. Your students will surely be inspired to showcase what is trending in their world. This is a show inspired by Social Media. The opener is called “Flash Mob” and it creates a musical flash mob by slowly layering in one new idea at a time by individual sections until the full ensemble is playing. This can easily be done visually as well. The second movement is called “FollowMe” and represents how “buried in our own media” (cell phones/texting) we can be but when we come together, we can do something cool. That’s why the opening begins with sad music and then it progresses to another additive section where one by one new sections add. When everyone finally all joins together, the music turns major, representing everyone coming together. The closer then is very different which is called “Rave.” It is accompanied by an electronic track that uses a lot of electronic sounds that represent the digital age and our dependency on technology.
