Woburn High comes together for the Lip Dub

by Ally Mann
On Wednesday April 16, 2014, Woburn Memorial High School created their very own Lip Dub. A Lip Dub, also known as a One Take, combines lip syncing and audio dubbing to create one cohesive music video. High schools from all around the world have started creating these high energy and school spirited videos. The tradition began in Woburn last year with the Class of 2013 singing the song “How Far We’ve Come,” by Matchbox 20.
The second annual Lip Dub portrays not only the Class of 2014 but the entire school. The Yearbook Staff thought that using all grades would create more depth and energy within the video. Of course the seniors were highlighted throughout by making them the actual “dubbers.”  The “dubbers” were the ones who got to lip-sync the lyrics to “Best Day of My Life,” by American Authors.

For the seniors who were not chosen to sing lyrics, they were still able to be seen in the front row as the cameras went by. Teams, clubs and activities all got to stand in designated areas throughout Woburn Memorial High School supporting what they do. Wearing uniforms and holding signs, every team and unique club is featured in the video showing all that Woburn High has to offer. The video was shot two times and only took about an hour during sixth period. Students sported all the black and orange they could fit on their bodies and even through confetti as the cameras rushed through the halls.

Ending the video, the school all gathered in the gym. The camera featured the seniors one last time before coming together as one. Everyone began chanting “Let’s go Woburn!” as the camera was lifted by a fork lift over the crowd. The video is planned on being released during the seniors Yearbook Ceremony on May 21 and then published to YouTube. Hopefully you will all be able to catch a look at what the Class of 2014 and Yearbook staff has put so much time and energy into!
