Lip Dub comes to Strathmore High

Times Jr Reporter

 

For the past three Fridays at around 2 p.m., if you were to visit Strathmore High School, you wouldn’t find any students in their desks; instead, you would find the hallways full of excited students and staff singing along to Owl City’s “Good Time” featuring Carly Rae Jepsen, in the school’s first ever Lip Dub video.

Lip dub, a music video created by lip synching and then dubbing in the music, came to Strathmore High School after the Leadership Class was given an assignment to create a video about what makes Strathmore High School great. After being inspired by the Lib Dub videos of various high schools on YouTube, Cheryl Davidson, the Leadership teacher at Strathmore High School, decided to bring lip dub to SHS.

All of the students and staff at Strathmore High School are involved in this project in which sports teams, classes, and other extracurricular activities are featured, if only for a few seconds of time on the video.  “It was supposed to be used to welcome grade nines and [show] how awesome our school is … but it’s grown into so much more,” said Davidson. “I’ve never seen so much spirit at Strathmore High School. We do have a really great school here and so it’s fun to just showcase some of the fun things that we do here.”

Although the lip dub committee is unsure when the finished video will be showcased, it will be made available for the public to enjoy. 

“There’s already talk about next year,” said Davidson. “About what we’re going to do, but I don’t know … try to make it through this year first!”
