Hello dear choir member!
You are invited to be a part of our virtual choir video of this Summer Season’s song, “Keep on
Moving Forward/Sigamos Adelante” by Emma’s Revolution. We are hoping that everyone will
send us a video! You can do this on your phone in a similar way to the audio recording we did
last season.
‘Keep on Moving ( )’ is your vocal part. You can practice with this and listen to it while you
record.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING YOUR VIDEOS: Sunday, June 13.

Backing Track for Phrases:
Filming tips:
- MOST IMPORTANT!: You will need to use headphones/earbuds to hear the backing
track while you sing. The best way to record is to have one earbud in to hear the
backing track and one earbud out so you can hear yourself. - ALSO IMPORTANT!: Position the phone SIDEWAYS to film everything!
- Have a light in front of your face.
- Hold/set the phone a little higher than eye-level, so that you look slightly up to the
camera.
Singing tips: - Sit on top of the notes! Smile as you record!! (This will keep the notes from going flat!)
- Count 1-2-3-4 on the vowel sound before ending each long note.
- Sound the final syllable, but swallow it a little (make it a softer ending).
Optional Extras:
Video #2: ‘Backing Track for phrases’ is a track you can use to add other languages and new
phrases of intention.
- We are inviting you to sing and/or say one line as a translation of ‘Gonna keep on
moving forward’, or to sing and/or say a new line of your own intention – “Gonna keep
on loving boldly,” “Gonna keep on chanting loudly,” “Gonna end the occupation.” - More instructions are included in the backing track to guide you.
- You will start filming your part from 1min 30secs into the track.
Video #3: PROCESSIONAL-IN-PLACE – A video of your ‘pod’/family/people/pets - You may want to dance around the room! We encourage you to make a sign to hold up
that shows your ‘intention’ – “Gonna keep on …”. - Anything that brings life and energy and shows us who you are is welcome!
