Spring-Ford To Film School-Wide Lip Dub Video With 2,400 Students

ROYERSFORD, PA – Lip Dubs are sweeping the nation by using interactive videos to highlight talented high school students.

Now, some of that local talent is being used in a massive, one-take project.

On Friday, June 3, more than 2,400 Spring-Ford students and staff in grades 9-12 will participate in the event, the district announced.

What is a Lip Dub? According to Spring-Ford:

It's a one-take music video that involves lip-syncing, cheering and lots of school spirit. Students lip-sync to a song, while walking backward in front of a camera, with classmates lining the halls on either side of the camera. These students that line the halls on either side are representing their sport, music or instrumental group, extra-curricular activity, or academic program.

Students in the Broadcast Production II class have been working for the past few months to plan the route, recruit students and perfect the one-take video. The route will be through the lower level halls and culminate in the gym. Everyone involved will be assigned a “zone” or section along the route.

The event will begin just begin its planning stages around noon on Friday, with filming beginning at around 2 p.m.
