So my high school puts on a "performing arts showcase" at the end of each year, pretty much a talent show open to students who are actively involved with performing arts at the school. This being my senior year, I decided I wanted to participate, and Foil seemed like a good fit to perform live. To sing the song, I took the notes to Royals, raised them up an octave (to where Al sings it), then down three steps to a range where I could hit the notes, and adjusted the music accordingly. I also recruited three friends, one to harmonize and two to sing backup vocals. I'm so happy with how it turned out... the audience's positive reaction and supportive comments I got after the show made last night one of the best times I've ever been on stage. Take a look if you're inclined to do so!

The only glitch (aside from a little bit of mic interference) was that the blue curtain behind me was supposed to be open to make the light change more noticeable. I don't think it mattered too much though.

You should totally tweet the link to Al if you haven't already.

You enunciate better, and have better vibrato, than Al.
Perhaps you should post the video embed on Jim West's Facebook. That would be cool!
