Choreography Notes for the King's Singers

This week the King's Singers group learned all of their choreography for "Poor Poor Pharaoh" and "Song of the King."  They can practice it at home by clicking on the Accompanese song 09 - "Poor Poor Pharaoh" (both songs will play).

The following is a breakdown of the King's Singers dance steps for these two songs.  These are just notes to jog your memory as you practice. Remember, the most important part is to KEEP THE BEAT.  This dance looks awesome if we all stick together!
