Divas Go Bananas at second practice

What a fun group of divas this is proving to be! For those of you who were able to make this practice thank you for giving up an hour of your Saturday to work on the routine for the upcoming parade season.

The stage performance came together this morning and thanks to S (from HCL) we have a fun and energetic opening - the Banana Peel song!

Recap of the stage routine:

• Enter two by two with a criss-cross movement
• Line up in one long line across the middle of the stage
• Move to the front of the bookcarts
• Do the Banana Peel song
• Move to back of the bookcarts
• Move into two lines

MUSIC BEGINS

• Spin bookcarts
• Form an outer circle (counter clock-wise) and inner circle (clockwise)
• Move into one line
• Wheel spoke move - one full rotation
• Alternate divas step forward and backward 1 and 1-1/2 times
• Front row divas - Romantic twirl
• Back row divas - Romantic twirl
• All divas - kick twirl
• Form three pinwheels
• Move into one long line - primp and ham it up until end of music

MUSIC ENDS

A (from DCL) INTRODUCES LIBRARY CHANT

• Divas keep beat on bookcarts
• Quiet the crowds
• The Name Game - each Diva moves to front of stage while her name is chanted

ENDING

• A (from DCL) invites everyone to Go Bananas at their library and tells where the MELSA booth is located
• Divas move off stage in single file

I'll send the routine to everyone who has signed up to participate this summer the parade routine, the words to the banana peel song, and the words to the library chant.
