The campers have been separated by the new camp director and conflict has already begun. The red team is used to doing things quickly. Is this strategy effective or are there pitfalls? The blue team likes to take their time. Is this the better way or will they be left behind? Everyone has taken sides and chants of "We are better than you" are heard all over camp. At camp, there are many opportunities to join teams and compete against others. The choreography for this song was inspired by playful jarring between teams before one of our big events. |
