Fall School Carnival

Twin Creeks decided to shift the carnival back from the summer to the fall.  So soon after the Drop Daddies played at the 2012-2013 school year summer carnival, we were invited to play again at the the 2013-2014 school year fall carnival!

It was October 18, and Halloween was just around the corner, so we decided to learn Monster Mash for the occasion.  Gary’s Transylvanian accent was outstanding!

There was a hilarious moment when the new school mascot, TC Tiger, came up and played tambourine with us.  Turns out TC Tiger’s got pretty good rhythm!

The big highlight for us proud Daddies was when our kids came up to sing the second set with us.  They sang the chorus parts in Lonely Boy, Rock and Roll All Nite, and Life is a Highway, as well as all the “wa-wa-ooo’s” in Monster Mash.

We played three short sets.

• Set 1
  • What I Got – Sublime
  • All the Small Things – Blink-182
  • Funk #49 – James Gang
  • Magic Carpet Ride – Steppenwolf
  • Jessie’s Girl – Rick Springfield
• Set 2 with the kids singing
  • Lonely Boy – Black Keys
  • Rock And Roll All Nite – Kiss
  • Life Is A Highway – Tom Cochrane
  • Monster Mash – Bobby Boris Pickett
  • Mony Mony – Billy Idol
• Set 3
  • Johnny B. Goode – Chuck Berry
  • Come On, Let’s Go – Ritchie Valens
  • Island in the Sun – Weezer
  • Upside Down – Jack Johnson
  • What I Like About You – Romantics
  • Long Train Runnin – Doobie Brothers
  • You Shook Me All Night Long – AC/DC

Gary ran music for the freeze dance and hula contests between our sets, on the Amazing Slow Downer.

We had a blast, and look forward to next year
