Internation Day Brainstorming

1st Idea: Group performance singing a mashup of songs from different countries 

Resources: 

-3 voices for 3 part harmony 

-Microphones 

-Piano 

Pros: 

-Displays a variety of songs, so may be in a way more interesting for audience

-Diversifies performance 

Cons: 

-Difficult to construct and structure mashup in a short period of time 

-May sound empty without instruments 

Link to International Day: 

It shows internationalism as the songs will be from different countries portraying a final diversified piece. 

2nd Idea: Solo performance singing a song about world togetherness

Resources: 
-Microphone
-Karaoke

Pros: 
-It will nicely start the function as it is song about world unity
-Since it is individual it will not rely on others

Cons: 
-May be difficult to find karaoke in right key

Link to International Day: 
It basically would be song displaying internationalism, a song like 'we are the world'. This would be good as it's connecting all countries and the lyrics show strength between them.

3rd Idea: -Group performance singing a popular song in different languages 

Resources: 
-3 voices for 3 part harmony
-3 Microphones
-Guitar

Pros: 
-Since it is a popular song, it will easily the catch the audience's attention
-The MFL languages being taught in classes are the languages that we will sing in

Cons: 
-May be hard to pronounce and enunciate words correctly
-May be hard to memorise lyrics

Link to International Day: 
3 languages from 3 different countries will be sung (Spanish, French and English).

4th Idea: - Perform a famous composers song 

Resources: 
-Microphone
-Karaoke

Pros: 
-Since it is a famous song, it will easily the catch the audience's attention
-It will be done individually, so no need of reliance on others.

Cons: 
-May be not be as exciting as some of the other performances
-Doesn't necessarily relate to international day

Link to International Day: 
It will be song that was originally composed by someone from their native country will some cultural effects part of the song.

Eventually, I have decided to go with idea #3- group performance singing a popular song in different languages. I think this would be very unique performance because it's quite a difficult task to master the lyrics in other language and sing them smoothly, while also doing harmony. Additionally, since it is a popular song, the audience will be aware of the song and will therefore be more intrigued to listen.
