Musical Day! Jan. 2nd

January 1, 2008 at 3:18 AM

Musical Day is almost here!!!!

My family and I like to create our own holidays, in a desperate effort to be individual, original, and sassy baby...

So, a couple of months ago, I came up with Musical Day, which is Jan. 2nd.

What do you do? You break out in song every hour of the day, getting the whole family involved. How do I know it will work?

1) I sing every hour already.

2) The other day, I got a whole bunch of people randomly involved in a musical of my own. I started to snap my fingers and sing, "I went to the restroom, yesterday, and my toothpaste fell in toilet." Then, I sang it again and told the people to repeat me, and they did. Then I told my brother to snap his fingers along with me and before I knew it, 8 people were involved in my song. "I went to the restroom, yesterday, and my toothpaste fell in the toileeeeet."

"What did you do, girrrrl?" (The chorus)

"I got a fork from the kitchen sink and I fished for it..."

Anyways, our ending was pretty bad, but I think the beginning made for a great musical.

So, what does musical day do for us?

1) It brings the family closer together, since all of us take part in eachother's musical, laughing and prancin around like fools.

2) We promote the spontaneous improvisation and composition of music.

3) And the winner who sings on the hour every hour who is able to start and complete a song through out the day successfully (that even means, singing if your at the grocery store) will get a prize. There can be more than one winner. (I already told my mom I wanted Simon Fischer, "Basics." My brother wants money.)

I can't wait to get my "Basics."
