Hamilton Singalong!

Submitted by anniewinkler on May 23, 2020 - 1:02pm

I have been longing to have a Hamilton singalong for a long time. Seems to me there are many challenges in doing it online, but I am hoping I can figure them out by the time we have this workshop! So, during the workshop, we'll talk about the things that go into doing an online singalong sort of thing for maybe 10 minutes, and folks can (hopefully if I figure it all out) sing one of their favorite songs from the show for us to all sing along with! There will probably be some setup sorts of things to make this work, but since I haven't figured them out yet, come with some flexibility and a desire to learn some things about settings in zoom to make things sound better. Anyone is welcome to come to this workshop if they like the show, or even if they don't know it and want to learn some things about it. If you live in a pod with folks who also like to sing, you could even do some of the songs that have more banter or back and forth or harmonies!Remember, you don't need to be an expert to teach at Skill Swap, you just need to want to try!

In this workshop, people will learn how to...: 
run an online singalong
Workshop Format: 
I'll offer my skill as a group workshop
What age range is your workshop aimed at?: 
All ages
What online tools or platforms, besides basic video conferencing, do you need for your workshop?: 
It would be helpful if folks were already at least a little comfortable with zoom
What physical materials should participants acquire in advance? : 
If you want to be one of the people leading (singing), you will need to also have a speaker playing your backing track that is pointed at you and the mic that is picking up your singing. Mainly, all of the audio needs to come through your microphone.
What virtual resources should participants acquire in advance?: 
Lyrics to their favorite Hamilton songs, and a singalong track that works for them - could be all instrumental if you're up for that, but also can totally just be the all cast recording.
Yes!Maybe...Probably not
