Every year Macy's Department Store in NYC sponsors a lip dub contest for schools---elementary through university...the winning school gets a $25,000 check. There are some criteria....there can be no editing, it can only run so long, the same version of the same song must be used.
My daughter's and grandsons' school (Clark Elementary)....just
!!!!!WON!!!!!!
You can see the youtube video here.
(Robyn was the one in front of the camera making sure everyone was ready for their part in the film, so she's the only faculty member not in the video....one grand is holding the sign with their running club---you can see the top of his head....the other grand is bouncing a basketball in the gym near the end.)
It's pretty easy 'being true to your school' when you have such a great staff and enthusiastic kids! A special thanks to Mr. Julian, the music teacher, who was sure they could pull this off...and they did.
How fantastic! Please tell them congratulations from me. That is one super video, I especially love the skeleton in the beginning with the pom-pom and then seeing all the students from the whole school, it was amazing!
