General Performance NotesKeep this fun song playful! This is meant to imitate a true game of Simon Says, so have some fun with it! When the choir is giving instructions as Simon, make sure they are also doing the motions. (For example, if they sing “hands in the air”, regardless of if they sing Simon Says they do that motion.)Specific Performance NotesThis song is fairly straightforward until about the mid point, which you’ll find instructions below: At measure 44, have your pianist vamp this measure as long as needed for the student announcer to make their announcement. If using the recording, it will be repeated 4 times. You can have the student write their own announcement or read this pre-written one:Okay, now we'd like to play with you! Some of our choir members will be coming to invite you to play!They'll lead you to the front and we'll play! You’ll win or lose as a team. Don't be scared! It is just a kid's game after all! As soon as the announcer starts speaking, your pre-determined kids will go into the audience and bring a family member to play the game. Have a conversation with them before the concert about who in their family would be willing to play. There is a fun element to having their family members caught by surprise at the performance so talk to your kids about keeping this part a secret.These audience members will come to your performance space and face the choir because they will follow the directions given by the choir. At measure 72, the instructions are given in quick succession. At the fermata, take a moment to see if any participants put their hands down. If they did, the choir sings "Got ya." If all participants keep their hands in the air, the choir sings "well done." Either way, once the song starts again, the choir members that brought up the audience members will escort them back to their seats while singing.
