This is mainly for my friend, Lindsey, who was missing in action this year.
Kappa Gamma, Shantih, Chi Kappa Rho: Egyptians: Okay music and dancing, great costumes. Not very many people. Hard to follow story line. Grandmothers out of grave, mummies, matchmaking. Placed in visual effects but nothing else.
Gamma Sigs, Pi Theta Phi, Iota Chi: Pirates: Good music, clever costumes that showed when everyone was together. The downside, if someone was off it looked really bad!!!! Placed 4th overall
Ju Go Ju, Kojies: Candy Shop: Funny thing(their charity was Juvenile Diabetes), Cute girly costumes as always, okay story line, Lots of fun characters (Candy Man, Dentists, Fudge, M&Ms, gumdrops, Lollipop girls that tapped danced, Pepto Bismol) Choreography was together and cute. Really cute lyrics; They won every category except music. They used Sunshine Day and the Keep On Brady Bunch songs. Placed 1st overall
Chi Sigs, Regina: Aliens: Kind of weird because their main characters were farmers in Roswell and then the Aliens showed up. Alien costumes were really good. They were still trying to use those same Gold Rush moves. It just doesn't work anymore especially when it isn't clean.
TNT, Zeta Rho: Puppets: They did so good! It was by far my favorite. The performers stayed in character even when they changed formations. Their moves looked like they were attached to strings. They had Pinnochio as someone who had removed his strings and that it wasn't all it was cracked up to be because he had to bathe. They had a human size loofa and bar of soap. Cracked me up!!! Placed 3rd overall
Oege, Gata: Arcade: Very small show. Costumes weren't that great, but idea was cute. Had a large PacMan and Mrs. PacMan. Also had those moles that you bonk on the head with a mallet. Most of the show centered around a DDR competition. Those two dancers were really good.
ChiOs, Delta Gamma Rho: Elementary Kids: Really cute!! Had teachers, lunch ladies with huge rearends, detention hall for a food fight at lunch. Just overall a neat idea. Costumes were simple and lyrics were easy to understand. Lunch ladies beformed a Michael Jackson Dance and changed the Beat it lyrics to Eat it. It was very creative. One first in Music and 2nd overall.
The further I am removed from Harding in age the sadder Spring Sing is to me. I miss it so much, but I'm almost let down when I go to see it. It doesn't carry that same joy it once did for me. Maybe it's because I no longer particpate, or I see fewer and fewer friends each year. I don't know what it is, but I'm no longer IN LOVE WITH SPRING SING. It was a very sad realization to come to.

I'm so judgemental. Reading your stuff makes me glad that I didn't go, just because I would get annoyed.
That Eat it song is a Weird Al song. They totally ripped that song (and probably lyrics) from Weird Al. I used that song for the Iron Chef section of our video when I was historian.
I'm still frustrated that they totally ripped that Ramalama number from "So you think you can dance". I bet the choreograpy was identical. That's what disappoints me about certain someones who choreograph for Spring Sing, they just copy.
Well I'm sure you at least had a good time seeing all the randoms! I can't wait to come and visit!!!

I understand what you mean about Spring Sing losing some of its magic. It will never be as good as the shows that we were in just because of our experiences! But really, isn't it a good thing to outgrow the things we were so wrapped up with in college? I think it's okay that they consumed us then, but it's also okay for them not to consume us now. That's what our kids are for. :)
