Paparazzi
Paparazzi
Strike a pose! When you’ve arrived in the land of fame and glory, the cameras are always watching. But that’s not always a good thing. This show brings popular music to the football field in a contemporary marching band setting and shines a light on what it’s like to be famous. Imagine stretching a red carpet down the 50 yard line and putting a stage center-field for your soloists and featured performers so shine on. There’s a lot of room for creativity with guard implements and also consider using literal camera flashes throughout the show to drive home the “Paparazzi” theme.
