@LamWooStudio Actually i do wish that our rules are a little bit more loose, or at least they make it into separate category. one for traditional/conservative and another for creative/progressive...

Yeah, Boneyard rap actually is a children poem. Here, we often write our text ourselves (because the rules here says the the script must be original).

@LuciferAmadeus Oh, you are from Malaysia. In Hong Kong, the rules are very loose (e.g., I just saw one performance here where everyone was lying on and crawling around the stage as they recited). We don't have such a strong tradition of choral speaking here (especially compared to Malaysia).

Personally, I don't think Boneyard Rap is a good choice of poem for older students (maybe the rhythm is too repetitive)

@suboo2010 yeah, not dad... lol

anyway, this is a very creative choral speaking (should i say choral rapping?)

I my country, we are a little bit more conservative when it comes to choral speaking.

All sounds must be vocal, we cannot turn around that people can see our back.

Emphasis is put more on the facial expression, intonation and pronunciation...

Good job anyway... :)
