[Elk] I take a zumba class at my local Y lead by a power duo – MeMe and Angel. Every Tuesday and Thursday morning, I am there shaking my hips and rolling my shoulders with an diverse crowd of free spirits. One day I thought- this scene would make a great music video- then it occurred to me, Elk and Boar needs a video! I will ask Angel to choreograph an Elk and Boar song!!! Angel is a star. He has “it”. And I want the world to experience his magic. Just before I asked him, I talked to my brilliant friends at The Art Dept. They shoot videos that really move me capturing light and mood with honed skills and perfect intuition. I was THRILLED when both The Art Dept and Angel agreed enthusiastically to collaborate with us. We chose the song ten steps.
As the brainstorm continued- I began thinking about setting and other elements that could enhance the song. Whenever I listen to ten steps I can hear a pep band playing it, drum line… spinning batons, flaming hula hoops etc. We were seeking a venue. Stadium High School opened its arms to us. This iconic Tacoma landmark seemed the ideal place to have an Elk and Boar assembly. On top of venue use- we are elated that students and faculty will actually be participating in the video! The Stadium band director has charted out the song so that the band can play along at the shoot. The dance team and the cheerleaders will be a part of our core group powering the flash mob. Basically, it’s going to be insane. Come be a part of the insanity.
RSVP on our event page for updates and details! We have posted the routine early for those that know that separation is in the preparation. https://vimeo.com/84932854
