Woburn Memorial High School seniors alongside the rest of the classes are continuing a tradition begun by last year’s Yearbook club, the Lip Dub.
The event, commonly referred to as the Lip Dub, is a trend among high schools across the nation where select leaders in the school lip sync a song while other students cheer them on in a performance of school pride and spirit.
“The inspiration came from last year, actually, because last year, they [Class of 2013 Yearbook Staff] did a lib dub,” said senior Dylan Scott, who spearheaded the entire project.
However, this year’s Yearbook club want[ed] to take this year’s lib dub a step further by including the whole school and more pre-planning.
“This year we’re going to have the whole school involved, where last year they just had the seniors involved. And, we’re going to try to cover a lot more of the school this year so you get to see more of it as opposed to just a few areas they saw last year,” said Scott.
Fine Art Department Head and Yearbook Adviser, Susan Thifault discussed the planning that goes into a project like the lip dub.
“It took Mrs. Getherall probably about ten hours to make the maps upstairs—they’re all done on Auto CAD—and the stations. She had to go find every sixth period teacher and find out how many kids are in each class to designate where the stations would go, “ said Thifault.
The lip dub was filmed throughout Woburn High School on April 16, 2014 and is going to be revealed May 22, 2014. (Click here to see the actual Lip Dub)
