Ok, so I'm sitting here working on a script for the children at my church for next Christmas, all based around the song "Do You Hear What I Hear" and in the process, I got this idea....
I ran it past my chapter president in email, but I'd also like input from you guys as well.
What if I could pull off a Greek holiday performance at my campus next year? Call it something like "Yuletide Bash" or something fun...because it wouldn't be limited to Christmas, I would love and welcome Hanukah (sry if it's spelled wrong!) and Kwanza and whatever else people have out there to be represented...it would show our diversity! As long as the material is clean and not offensive, the sky is the limit and it would not only be for NPC, but also NIC and NPHC as well. What I'm thinking is lip syncing songs for those who aren't confident in their voices, live performance w/ cd music for those who would want to sing, live musical performances from those who can (and if they put toghether bands or have bands, they can do their own spins on the music too...like spice up the traditional stuff with quick drum rhythms and loud guitar riffs), and even holiday comedy acts. What I'm thinking is my GLO will sponsor it, but any chapter who has performers is welcome to take part in the performance (I think give us a two hour slot and go from there...divide it out among the GLOs or something). Half the total ticket sales can go to our philanthropy (Juvenile Diabetes Foundation), but if another GLO chapter has 75% or more attandance, they get half of their ticket costs back for their philanthropies (an incentive to encourage Greek attendance). We will open the whole thing up to the campus and the community so they can see us Greeks in a whole new light! Maybe even I could get it recorded like all of my university's musical concerts are and we could sell the CDs...and if that does happen, then it will be the performers who sell them and the sales of the CDs will benefit the seller's philanthropies (if that makes any sense....an example would be if a DZ sings a song, then she has the option to sell CDs of the concert and half of whatever she sells goes to her philanthropy......I use the DZ's here b/c a friend of mine in my choir is a DZ and she has a lovely voice and you can bet if I can pull of this whole thing, I'll be asking her to make an appearance!
Please give me input on this. I know it will be a lot of work (I already told my president that), but I think it would be a great thing for my campus's Greek community...it would unify us, benefit our philanthropies, show Greeks in a good light to the campus and community, and above all, be an awful lot of fun!
