AHHHH. EEEEEEEEE. OOOOOOOOO. Oh, sorry about that. Was just doing some warm-ups to get ready for this blog. As you all know, warm-ups are essential to helping us ready our voices and bodies for a performance. So, in order to help you all be in peak condition, my fellow STO’s have provided some warm-up ideas.

STO: Chloe McNeese
Warm-up Name: Big Black Bear Tongue Twister
Description/Words: A big black bear bit a big black bug and the big black bug bled blue blood. (Repeat x3)

STO: Motewogbola ‘Tee’ Awobokun 
Warm-up Name: I Thought A Thought
Description/Words: I thought a thought, but the thought I thought, wasn’t the thought I thought I thought  

STO: Folarin Oyeleye
Warm-up Name: Ooo I Feel So Good
Description/Words: (Everyone forms a circle then begins to walk around). Ooo, (clap) I feel so good. Ooo, (clap) I knew I would, Ooo I feel so good! (Then the person who is leading it will say: feel it like a blank. Now everyone starts again but doing it as the leader instructed. You keep going until you get bored).

STO: Marisa Berrones
Warm-up Name: Leading Exercise
Description/Words: Walk around the stage and lead with different, isolated parts of the body. 

STO: Avery Martin
Warm-up Name: Unique New York (articulation warm up)
Description/Words: We say the phrase- Unique New York(x2), You know you need Unique New York, Unique(x2), New York(x2)

STO: Bailey Crawford
Warm-up Name: Say A Line
Description/Words: Before each show, we all stand in a circle and we go around saying one of our lines. 

STO: Abi Colburn
Warm-up Name: Peanut Butter Monday
Description/Words: (Call and response)
Peanut Butter Monday
Today is Monday
Peanut butter Monday, everybody happy
Today is Tuesday
Two piece Tuesday, peanut butter Monday, everybody happy
Today is Wednesday
Wild wild Wednesday, two piece Tuesday, peanut butter Monday, everybody happy
Today is Thursday
Finger lickin Thursday, wild wild Wednesday, two piece Tuesday, peanut butter Monday, everybody happy
Today is Friday
Pay day Friday, finger lickin Thursday, wild wild Wednesday, two piece Tuesday, peanut butter Monday, everybody happy
Today is Saturday
Party hard Saturday, pay day Friday, finger lickin Thursday, wild wild Wednesday, two piece Tuesday, peanut butter Monday, everybody happy
Today is Sunday
And on sundays we sleep in
(Everyone together)
Because we party hard Saturday, up day Friday, finger lickin Thursday, wild wild Wednesday, two piece Tuesday, peanut butter Monday, everybody happy

So, we hope these are some fun little warm-ups you can take home to your troupe. Let us know if there are any familiar ones in the comments below, or better yet, share one of your own. Hope this list is of use to y’all.


Thanks for reading,
Your 2021 Texas State Thespian Officers
