The Opening Production Number should be tailored
to whatever your group is capable of doing. If you
have time for contestants to learn choreography for a
production number, it can be exciting. If not,
perhaps your emcee or some special talent can
perform with contestants brought out at the end of
the song for a Parade. Thin outside the box! and
have your opening production number immediately
segway into one of the phases of competition.
