Think 'post apocalyptic /scrap heap challenge /lord of the fly’s' sort of thing!

OLDER NIPPERS (10 -13 yrs.) - JUNK BANDDRUMMERS
Playing along to the following track (Brothers in Arms), which
will be on a loop (and VERY LOUD!)

hard!). The drums can be old bin lids, containers, and barrels etc.

The Seniors, older Nippers and anyone else who isn’t in the boat

dark masks, goggles - AND riding on Scooters, go-karts, roller
blades/boots, bikes, water pistols sprayed black – get creative!
MUM’s, YOUTH GIRLS & CLUB LADIES-
we need a group of ‘INNOCENT’S’ to be grouped up in the
middle of all of this –
The baddies hold you prisoners.

2. THE CARNIVAL ROUTE
This year, the organisers have asked for each ‘float’ to stop at certain points and ‘perform a routine'. So, we have a 2
phase plan for the carnival route
The carnival will be going round twice this year. The judges will be at the clock tower.
Phase 1 - To start with,
 We will have drummers playing along to the following track (Brothers in Arms) which will be on a loop (and
VERY LOUD!):
Phase 2 - A radio tuning sample sound will play (Everyone will stop drumming).
Then - This is the best bit! – For those of you who are unfortunate enough to have been around when the original Mad
Max was out, this is a dedication to one of the finest mullets ever to have blessed the 80’s - Tina Turner
 The beautiful Shane Tellam will appear on the float to the Beyond Thunderdome theme tune blasting out –
 Other adults - this is your calling to 'camp up', grab a saxophone and be Tina’s back-up
crew!
 The Innocent Children in the surf boat (younger Nippers) will sing along to ‘Tina’ ‘We don’t need another
Hero’ - waving arms in the air etc.
 When ‘Tina’ has finished her performance there will be an air raid siren and she will disappear from site.
 Drums will start up again and the first routine and music loop starts again. Baddies raising hell once more!
Anyone interested in Drumming will need to be around for a practice session one evening before the event
(date and time to be confirmed shortly by club email and Facebook).
 Costume Workshops Thurs 23rd
July 2-4pm and Friday 2-4pm
 If you have any scrap for costumes, please bring it down to the club
FLOAT MAKING
 Will be at Station Road Industrial Estate next week,
 Look out for times Matt needs help and can’t do it alone
 Help with the float will be needed if anyone has a spare hour or so.
 Please contactMatt Sanwell 07515 355960 if you can help
 We need any old paint, black brown silver would be gratefully received as well as any old large
Water butts, PVC waste pipe, ducting and interesting ‘post-apocalyptic scrap heap challenge’ type junk.
Parents are very welcome to come along, get dressed up and join in the fun!!!
