Imagine making your way through a high school campus and capturing the boundless enthusiasm of more than 1,800 students, using one camera to film one continuous camera take. Dos Pueblos High School’s DPNews media team did exactly that when they created the first all-school lip dub as part of the Macy’s $50,000 Lip Dub Contest. Per contest rules, all entries had to use the song “Be True to Your School” by the Beach Boys. Students showed their spirit by spending their lunch period running the halls and following the camera. The event served as a start to the homecoming week events at the school. In the past, Dos Pueblos created two senior class lip dubs, but this was the first time the entire school was involved. The voluntary lunch time activity was packed and students clearly loved the event, as can be seen in the video at DPNews.org. From that same site one can access the lip dub filmed by the DPNews media team for nearby Brandon Elementary School. Brandon School, a K-6 public elementary school in Goleta, hopes to be the first elementary school in the country to win the Macy’s Lip Dub Contest. Last week the team also completed its third Senior Class Lip Dub, which will be released later this week on the DPNews.org site. The seniors chose to perform their event to the song “We’re All In This Together” from the High School Musical movies. Results from the Macy’s contest will be announced at the end of October with three winners among all entries in the nation from elementary to college.
