Singalong Tips
Enjoying a Tribute Singalong at an event
- Consider sending the Video and Lyric Sheet ahead of time to at least some attendees so there is familiarity. There are always a few people who love this kind of thing and they will lead the rest! Just forward the email you receive to anyone you wish
- Check technology ahead of time if you are using the Video at an event
- It is sometimes fun to sing it again! They aren't long and the second time is even better
- After the group has participated, the Video could roll with or without the music playing
- One person or a small group may sing the song or a larger group may be invited to participate
- The Lyric Sheet could be printed and presented to the person or group being celebrated
- Assuming that the Tribute Singalong is a surprise, don't forget to forward to the person or group so that they can cherish their special tribute.
Enjoying a Tribute Singalong sent to others
- Send the email you receive to anyone you wish! You can also download it and text it
- The Video will be visible on a phone but it tends to look better on a bigger screen (Good to enlarge it to full screen whether on phone, iPad, computer or larger screen)
- Invite the people to sing along, either in their heads or out loud!
- The Lyric Sheet can be printed for a memoir, using either colour or black and white print
- If you live far apart consider setting up a Zoom or Teams session so you can enjoy together
- Sing it more than once--it only gets better each time!
