Welcome

On this site (to the right), you will find videos performed live in the years the songs for our show came out -- the styles, voices, and persona you see are what we are looking for. Why is studying these details so important? Over the years, as musicians repeatedly perform their hits, they refine them, maybe improve them, sometimes not, but they can be quite different. American Pie tries to capture the raw energy of the original hit, the true soul of what made it a hit in the first place. So if you come as close as you can to what the video shows, you will be reflecting the spirit of that song and that time.

Start early finding your outfit and thinking about your accessories, hairstyle, and swag! The links below might be of help, or just ask--we have resources and ideas. The look, movement and style of that particular artist is what is most important.

Thanks for all of your hard work, and most of all, have fun!
