For our musical, please prepare a brief, one minute cut of a song of your choice in which you best showcase your vocal range. For Go Dog Go, Go Dog Go/ Ve Perro ¡Ve! Please prepare the following: How does a dog go to work? Does it take the train or does it bike? What does the dog do at work? Is it a carpenter or is it a doctor? Oh! This dog does construction work. Today this dog will work with a jackhammer. Wait a second, the jackhammer does not work. This dog tries once, twice, and on the third time the jackhammer starts. All is well until… THE JACKHAMMER GOES CRAZY!! How will this dog slow the jackhammer down? Perform this to us in a minute long sketch. Be creative, be fun, and show us you enjoy being a dog!
