Christmas Show

[miraclegro]

Well, i said i wouldn't help with our Christmas show, but i may help with the adult number. I am looking for ideas. Looks like there will only be 3 of us. I am the adult coach, and there will be 2 skaters. Last year we did Alvin and the Chipmunks with a hockey dude being the guy in the song, and i was Alvin. It was a huge hit. I will always go down in history as Alvin.

I am looking for ANY ideas. We are all ladies, and can pull in extras if needed. Christmas music or something that would work, the more fun the better.

Last year we did a number to a song about a redneck reindeer who was Rudolph's cousin and had to fill in cuz Rudolph was sick....darn if I can remember his name though. We all wore antler headbands ;-/

Are you looking for an upbeat number or a floaty number? I always thought it would be neat to skate in a group number to that Joni Mitchell song (I think) that's about skating. I'm bad at remembering lyrics, but I think she has one about skating...

I think you mean "River"-- A few artists have covered it, most recently Sarah McLaughlin on her "Wintersong" CD. "Oh, I wish I had a river, I could skate away on..."

I had to google it because I just could not remember, but it's "Leroy the Redneck Reindeer" We had a guy who didn't really skate be Rudolph and we carried him off in a stretcher and then we just did group stuff, about a dozen of us with varying skating skills - from basic swizzles to single jumps.

Maybe something Father Frost and Snowmaiden themed?

There's even been an opera on it:

Father Frost and Snowmaiden are more elemental than religious characters and anybody can dress up as them...

I think adult numbers are always better off going for humour...

We did one once called "Gimme Some Soul for Christmas" with a Blues Brothers theme. Not sure who did the music - I'll have to look it up when I get home.
