An All-School Variety Showcase

by Teresa Jennings

Here's a unique way to show off all of the talent in your school. With this intriguing revue, Teresa Jennings has created a delightful variation on talent and variety shows that is free of the stress of competition. This versatile show not only provides you with a great opener and closer, but it also gives you songs that set up other activities. In addition to the music and a clever rhyming script, the very complete Teacher's Handbook includes Reproducible Student Parts which come with full rights to reproduce as many copies as you need for all of your students. All five songs can be used by themselves in other settings, and can be performed as unison arrangements even though two of them feature optional second parts. After the title tune comes the touching "Everyone Has Something They Can Do" which sends a quietly positive message to your younger performers, and features simple sign language. "Pick Up Your Feet" gets everyone moving, while "Gather Around And I'll Tell You A Story" (a real favorite of ours) sets up a fanciful story-telling scenario. The show ends with the upbeat, very infectious "Smile!!"
