Show Me the Money!: Choral Performance Pack (Score, 10 Singer's Editions & SoundTrax CD)

Fast-paced and comedic, with moments of genuine drama as the cast encounters American historical figures. The energy is high throughout, and the variety of vignettes keeps the pace lively and the audience engaged.

Elementary and middle school choirs with grades 3 and up. Choral directors who want a complete musical package with minimal preparation time for orchestration or accompaniment logistics.

• Use the SoundTrax CD to establish steady tempos during early rehearsals, then gradually transition singers toward independence so the performance feels alive rather than locked to a click track.
• Assign singers to roles based on comfortable ranges first, then layer in character work; this age group benefits from knowing their vocal part is secure before adding comedic or dramatic interpretation.
• Prepare clear visual cues for the cast when using the recorded accompaniment so they stay together during scene transitions and vignette changes.

Program this as a full concert event rather than a single piece; at approximately 35 minutes, it functions as a standalone performance suitable for assembly programs, spring concerts, or special history-themed events. The Presidents and currency content pairs naturally with American history units, making it ideal for performance during Presidents' Day celebrations or classroom heritage months.

• Sustaining character and comedic timing across musical scenes
• Singing with rhythmic precision to recorded accompaniments
• Blending ensemble voices while maintaining distinct character voices in soloistic moments
• Following conductor cues during transitions between vignettes and songs
