One moment…

From the master of choral comedy, who brought us such hits as 'Concerto for Singing Chickens,' comes this exceptional novelty about that scary space in every school known as the 'student locker!' Every teacher knows what can happen when a student can't get access to his 'space' between classes. From the '50s rock style to the overall message, it's all in fun and fun for all!

Don't just read it, hear it, play along with it, and watch your students grow with it. In MakeMusic Cloud, My Sha-la-la-la Locker's Stuck: 3-Part Mixed or SATB Choral Octavo comes alive with professional accompaniment, adjustable tempo, and built-in practice tools that turn solo practice into real progress.

Why we love this

Lawrence nails the combination of accessibility and genuine entertainment value that makes a piece work in a school setting. The '50s rock idiom gives singers a familiar sound world to inhabit while the relatable subject matter (every student knows locker trauma) creates immediate buy-in from the ensemble and the audience.

What to expect

The piece bounces with the energy of 1950s rock and roll, evoking that era's irreverent spirit and infectious rhythmic groove. There's warmth in Lawrence's writing here; underneath the comedy is a piece that sits well on the voice and feels good to sing, which helps sustain the fun across multiple rehearsals.

Who it's for

This octavo works for middle school and early high school choirs seeking repertoire that builds ensemble confidence while keeping singers genuinely invested. Directors programming a concert with lighter moments or looking for a piece that will make an audience laugh will find this fills the bill without compromising musicianship.

How to get the most out of it

Lock in the rhythmic drive of the '50s rock style early in rehearsal; this piece relies on solid rhythmic cohesion to land its comedy effectively.
Emphasize clear diction on the sha-la-la sections so the humor reads distinctly without sounding sloppy.
Bring out the dynamic contrasts between verses and the main hook to maintain energy and highlight the comedic peaks.
If using the recorded accompaniment, rehearse with it frequently so singers stay anchored to the groove without needing constant conducting.

How to use it

Slot this into a spring or winter concert as a standalone novelty number, or program it back-to-back with another Lawrence comedy for an entire comedic act. The 12-page score and straightforward voicing options (SAB or SATB) make it ideal for mixed ensembles that want to showcase their lighter side without abandoning their focus on sound.
