Here is a newly updated sample song schedule that you could use this fall semester.It’s generalized, and not theme club specific, so you will want to tweak it according to the theme of the club you’re doing and the talk you are giving.
Here’s a basic structure for how we try to pick club songs.It doesn’t always work out exactly this way, but its where we begin.We typically plan/practice 7-8 songs and often end up doing only 6 of them because we’re short on time.
3 song sets1. Fast Fun Song
2. Newer popular radio song
3. Silly rap medley or chant (Bananas, Fresh Prince)
4. Fun Oldie (Buttercup, Stand By Me, Sweet Caroline)
5. YL classic (Free Fallin’, I’ll Be, Hero, Miss a thing)
6. Country song (if not already using 1)
7. Content song related to talk
8. Content song related to talk

Here are more ideas on how to create a YL band led by high schoolers.By Monday (Labor Day) I will post PART TWO of this post, a list of newer club songs that you might not have worn out yet. I’d love to post good tab/chord sheets that go with each song. Do any of you have good chord sheets of YL songs that you could email me? YL1941 at gmail dot com.
What songs would you put on the list? Please comment below.
