Noxon staff set lip sync battle

March is Music in Schools Month, and Noxon has found a fun way to get in on the action. The ‘art’ of lip syncing has been a more common in the big leagues of the music industry, prompting Noxon’s music teacher Sari MacArthur to work with students for what promises to be an entertaining spectacle.

Lip Sync fails feature popstar names like the Grammy-stripped duo, Milli Vanilli, as well as the aging vocal chords of Mariah Carey. Teen pop idols like Selena Gomez and Justin Beiber are on that list, but Noxon will add performers with pre-titles such as “Mr.” and “Mrs.” to the Vocal Hall of Shame.

“We were looking to get rid of some of the third quarter funk going around,” explained MacArthur. Staff members have been recruited by each of the high school classes, grades 9-12, so each class gets one or a few teachers to participate. “The idea is to flip the roles and let the students coach the teachers,” MacArthur shared. “Each class will coach their lip syncer to put together a lip sync performance.”

The Lip Sync Battle will take place Wednesday, March 28 in the cafeteria/multi-purpose room.
