A Christmas e-Carol - FINISHES DEC 10

The Christmas e Carol is back! Last year Maribyrnong residents helped sing the local version of 12 Days of Christmas which was rewritten by Rebecca Barnard! It was so great so see all the families and traders get involved.

For the lovers of Christmas carols and music or performance in general here’s an activation which will surely hit the spot. Maribyrnong City Council is asking everyone to sing a line of our very own rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas. It’s a great opportunity to show off your talent, your family, your hood or business. It’s as simple as recording yourself on your smartphone and sending us the recording. We’ll edit the clips together making sure everyone looks their best and show off our community all singing as one in a fantastic video clip in time for Xmas. All you need to do is:

•Learn the song – it’s a local version of the 12 Days of Christmas so that’s easy. Lyrics attached.
•Record yourself singing just a line, the whole song or doing a dance to the song. Show off your talent, your shop front, your family, and staff. The music can be found here.
•Send in your recording. You can send in as many as you like.
•Watch last year’s clip for inspiration.
•Upload your renditions to Drop Box. Entries close December 10.
•The video clip will be edited and circulated in time for Christmas and giggles.
