This Is It! (Theme from "The Bugs Bunny Show"): Choral Octavo SoundTrax CD

Playful and purposeful at once. The familiar theme tune carries instant charm and recognition, while Schmutte's original material keeps things fresh and prevents the arrangement from becoming a novelty. It swings with personality and confidence.

Young singers in middle school or early high school choirs who are ready for two-part writing but benefit from the motivation of recognizable, culturally resonant material. This arrangement works equally well for singers still building independence and for groups that respond to pop and entertainment repertoire.

• Keep the iconic theme melody front and center in the soprano line; it's the audience's entry point, so clarity matters more than volume.
• Use the recorded accompaniment to lock in the rhythmic pocket, especially during the transitions between the theme and original material.
• Balance the two parts so the lower voices anchor the harmonies without overwhelming the memorable hooks.
• Approach the comedic spirit of Bugs himself; let the arrangement's energy and character come through in phrasing and articulation.

Open a pop or variety concert with this arrangement; its energy and accessibility set an inviting tone for the audience while signaling that your choir knows how to command a stage. It also serves as a confidence builder early in the season, since singers connect immediately with the source material.

• Two-part harmonic independence
• Melodic clarity and projection in familiar vs. original material
• Rhythmic coordination with recorded accompaniment
• Performance energy and character interpretation
