"Things That Go Bump in the Night" --
Grade Two
This show is pure spooky fun! It is meant to be a
light-hearted spoof of horror movies. We have a
slow and creepy introduction that builds up to a
scream! Then, we hear "What Was That?" which
is our opening theme. This is light and creepy
with the sudden sound of things jumping out to
"get cha"! The next section is entitled "Haunted
House" and is slow and mysterious with some
ghostly melodies and chord progressions. Next,
it's time to do a little creepy jive dancing to the
"Zombie Rhumba"! The show concludes with
"Confrontation and Escape...Maybe!". This is
up-tempo and scary fun! We have a final burst of
speed with "Run For Your Life" and we rush to
make our getaway! If you are looking for a fun
show with a twist that is also very playable by
young bands, this may be for you!
