Choreography:

 

Notes: All directions are given in parade progress orientation.  Forward is the direction the parade is moving. Back is opposite the direction the parade is moving.  Outside is toward the edges of the street, inside is toward the middle of the street

 

Basic position for umbrella is on right shoulder like a parasol

 

Grand Ol’ Flag

 

March in formation to the music starting on left, umbrella in basic position.  For first repeat only,  start with umbrellas closed then open dramatically before Still Cruisin’

 

Still Cruisin’

 

Intro: March forward, starting on left, for 1st 32 intro beats of music

Step 1: 16 counts of marching forward, starting on left.

Step 2: 8 count side-together-side. Odd lines go right, even lines go left.  Lines move outward until #1 in odd row is lined up with #4 in even row (7 columns).

Step 3: March forward 16 counts in expanded formation (7 columns)

Side 4: 8 count side-together-side to move back into original formation.

 

Choreo takes 48 beats of music

 

As the music ends complete the pattern.

 

Note: Right (odd) moving lines will need to do a touch step on count 8 to be on correct foot going outward w/ side-together-side.  Left (even) lines will need to do a  touch step on count 16 before coming back in.  Each line will be out of step for a few steps, do touch step to get back on correct foot.

 

Shoop, Shoop.

 

Intro:  16 beats of music, step-together-step-touch starting on right (right-together-right, left-together-left)

Step 1:  16 counts of step-together-step touch diagonally forward, starting on right (4 counts each to right and left – 2X), leave umbrella on right. Turn umbrellas so audience sees ‘faces – umbrellas’. Umbrellas will naturally shift as marchers move to diagonal.

Step 2: 8 counts of Shoop-Shoop umbrellas (scoop down, up and over) umbrellas, to the right and left,

Step 3: 16 counts – left pivot turn (1,2), step forward on right, turn left; six steps to the rear starting on right(3-6),  left pivot turn (1,2), six steps forward starting on right (3-6).
