Description

With all the cooking reality shows on television, this show will be popular with your audience as well as your students. The story I had in mind was showing the process of creating a meal and then serving it. The first segment is titled “The Utensils“. Picture your guard dressed as chefs as they begin the process of cooking. They can use props that look like various cooking utensils. The second segment it titled “The Ingredients“. Now your guard can either use more props or have pictures on their flags of various ingredients used for the meal. It can be from spices, condiments, vegetables all the way to (rubber) chickens. The last segment can show how the meal is prepared and finally served. It is titled “Dinner is Served“. I have built in a few humorous moments in this segments to depict trouble in creating the meal or in serving it. The issues are resolved when the band plays a fragment of the Hallelujah Chorus.

The storyline and visual opportunities for this show are only limited by your imagination. This will definitely be a show that your crowd will continue to talk about and your students will enjoy to perform!
