If you are not a teacher, you have NO IDEA how difficult this was to pull off. Just coordinating parent-permission-to-participate slips for a student body of nearly 3,000 is a daunting task in and of itself. Then, all of the rest of it--choreography, practice, timing, selection (and mixing of tunes), getting everybody released at specific times to do their parts. Incredible. These kids were outstanding! There's some real star potential in the halls of Avon High School. Even the uncomfortable and reluctant ones turned in a stellar performance. Way to go, guys! Way to go.

I've seen about 15 of these lip dubs and this one is the best. 1) The well-chosen songs flow seamlessly one into the other so it feels like one song (props to the sound people). 2) The performers 90% of the time are walking forward toward the camera; other lip dubs have them walking backward and you can see the anxiety on their faces about bumping into something. 3) There's always something moving in the background - banners, toilet paper, flags, lacrosse sticks, wrestlers, confetti, dancers, jumping, and on and on - so there's never a dead spot. 4) And some outstanding cameos, like the guy who says "Tonight is the night." He nails the attitude, even a few seconds after that when he's shifted to the background and he's bobbing his head in time to the music; I don't know what to call it. Suburban thug? Also the trio at the beginning, particularly the student in sunglasses wearing the tropical shirt; the cheerleader around 2:00, followed by another young brunette at 2:20; and the guy in the long-sleeved white shirt with great timing who turns to the camera to say "get up." Anyway, congratulations to everybody. This video sets the standard.
The cheerleader, and also the girl who does Clarity, both particularly killed their parts. Great work by the entire school though!!! Pop Danthology by Daniel Kim!! Check it out!
I hated high school, everything about it. This just makes me wish the other students were just as tolerant and accepting as you all seem to be. Nice job and I hope this catches on!
Sarah M, the school sucks, a lot. I’ve been there and I had to get out cuz of how bad it was!! the kids were mean and the teachers didn’t teach will,🙄 all I had was D’s and F’s now I’m home schooled and I have all A+’s!!!
@@bbylavv259 im a sophomore now and my freshman year literally flew by. ive already dropped so many bad ppl and im finally coming into my own person, and being a whole lot more happy!! thank u for the encouragement
To all of the students at Avon High School -- YOU are Fantastic!! I saw part of this video on ABC World News this evening and even better than your performance is the 'why' you did this. Kudos to everyone at Avon High School !!!!!!
Amber Bledsoe My cousin just graduated from there. She said it was very divided between the cliques and bullying was a major issue in her freshman and sophomore years.
Why did I get tears watching this? I am so proud of this whole school. It does my heart good after hearing so many depressing stories today. What a fantastic job!
Outstanding. Film directors with gazillion dollar budgets don't want to do long takes because of the amount of effort required. Really great spirit and participation by everyone. That is something to really be proud of.
These school lip dubs are the original tiktok.. I LOVED watching when I was younger & after searching i finally found them again 🙌🏻💓💓 brings back so much joyful nostalgia
Just see this covered on the NY eye witness news, I love this! This was a wonderful idea. You all are definitely bright stars for the future!!! You guys rock!
Ok, I saw this on abc nightly news. I immediately looked it up, and I think you guys truly did an incredible job. I heard it was something like 2700 people? Well done, way to really be unique :)
Awesome job Avon High School. This video says it all our kids are great in this town! No wonder Brownsburg backed out they know they can't compete with our kids here in Avon Indiana because OUR KIDS ROCK AND ARE THE BEST!
Awesome job. It's obvious the amount of work and practice that you put into this, it's one of the better ones I've seen. And what a great thing to have for years to come. Couldn't stop smiling.
This was fantastic! Look at how well all of you did! You worked so well together, I hope it lasts every day in the hallways! Seeing all of you in the gym at the end was very uplifting and encouraging that, even though people are individuals, you can get along to create a wonderful piece of work. Congratulations!
Avon High School! Y'all are AWESOME! I noticed the BPA banner! Now this is what they should make happen for the closing ceremonies at the NLC! It may be practically impossible, but it would sure add a TON of energy! Avon High School has fifty billion times more spirit than my high school! Totally donating to Riley Dance Marathon as well! Thank you!!
This was awesome for only being one take! It's so wonderful to see that many teenagers come together and do something good like this....and not leave anyone in the school out because of looks, or because they aren't popular, or because of where they come from/live. ALL schools, no matter what size they are, or where they are at, should watch this & learn how a REAL school should be!

From what I understand, You got an entire high school(EVERYONE) to work on this project for 6 weeks for charity!!!! Truly inspirational and you have restored my faith in teenagers....If I had any more children to send through highschool I would move to Avon just so they could attend your school....You are a very special group of young people....I hope millions see this video and get the same inspiration I received...could you please set up a link for those of us who would like to donate to the charity of your choice to show our support for you!!!!!
AHS Class of '06! So glad to see my high school still supporting Riley. Great job everyone! And shout out to the drama club (I miss you, Q!) and fellow choir kids! ^_^
no shit.. i live in washington between btown and evansville.. my high school sucked, if i could go back from college i would definitely choose this school... so badass
VERY impressive Avon! I know you made the video for the Dance Marathon, but what a cool way to show off 1) who Avon High School is, and 2) school is still fun! Good work!
I just want to say that this is amazing. This, is a real music video. The amount of work isnt noticed by many viewers but the amount of effort and time put into this 6 minute video of pure energy and fun must be immense. People who parcipitated in the making of this should be very proud. The high school looks very nice as well. I hope more high schools around the world will start to do fun, intresting and challenging projects like these. Thank you for sharing such a delightful video with the youtube community.
My school used this lip dub to show us what they were. They had the volume full blast so the end was deafening.. We're making our own this Thursday. :3
Congratulations to everyone who played any role in producing this. You have certainly done some impressive "paying forward." Oh, the Places You ALL Will Go!" Happy Easter/Passover.
That is pretty awesome! So lucky their high school is that cool! Looks a LOT like the "Somebody to Love" lip dub that BYU-Idaho did a few years ago. I would definitely check it out if you haven't seen it yet.
That was incredible! Gave me goosies and I teared up more than once. Great job kids, you will reach your $20,000 goal! Don't be surprised if Ellen showcases this....its freakin' awseome.
It goes to show, that we CAN all come together for a common cause. There is NO reason in the world that people can't put differences to the side and realize there are much more important things in life.
Aziza Vance Sorry if I got them mixed up, I couldn't see their uniforms very well, the whole video was great, everyone did a fantastic job. Wish my school had thought to do something like that.
We only did it once and it was TRAGIC and then we filmed it the second time and that was it! The guy who filmed had a rolly chair going through the maze of students.
The Avon High School Community Fair is Saturday April 19, 2014. It is run by the Student Government who ran this video, so you should definitely come check it out. All proceeds go to Riley Hospital for Children, the cost is $5 per family, so come see the stars of this video Saturday 1-3 pm!
I'm an Avon parent and so proud of these kids. This is the kind of stuff we need to see more of in the news. Teenagers doing things to BENEFIT others. So sick of hearing all the negative surrounding kids these days.........Avon as a whole has got a fantastic group of kids!!

she looked really nervous in the beginning
love how they got EVERYONE involved. NICE!
haha guaranteed most of those kids hate each other
Most of them do.
I wouldn't say hate. There's actually alot less drama. The middle schools is where most of the hate goes.

Deep and true
VERY impressive Avon! I know you made the video for the Dance Marathon, but what a cool way to show off 1) who Avon High School is, and 2) school is still fun! Good work!
saw this on abc 7 and was so touched by the reason you guys made this vid. absolutely amazing!
I wish my school was this cool 30 years ago! Well done!!!!
I wish I went to an american High School!
They're... average at best in comparison to other modern countries. As someone who has firsthand experience, I wouldn't recommend it.
Lord Caelvanir but American high school or at least the ones I've been to are so fun
Hahaha no you don’t 😂
rsclittlenature AHS is my school, every one is amazing!
Their nothing special really just more options for taking classes most the cases
Great job, Avon, you nailed it! New York City says yes!

Poptrigger sent me here. :)
Me Too haha
Me too lol
WOW!! That was amazing!!!
we worked real hard on this im glad how it turned out.
Still watching today! My favorite one!
Congratulations to everyone who played any role in producing this. You have certainly done some impressive "paying forward." Oh, the Places You ALL Will Go!" Happy Easter/Passover.
That is pretty awesome! So lucky their high school is that cool! Looks a LOT like the "Somebody to Love" lip dub that BYU-Idaho did a few years ago. I would definitely check it out if you haven't seen it yet.
Damn, props to the camera guy
Nice to see the people I went to High School with 20 years ago are still there. Some things just don't change. This was great.
Amazing! Admire the coordination and teamwork.
Looks like aunt Merk isn't the only one with theatrical talent. Nice job AHS and Adam!
This video sums up the songs of our generation:)
Well done you guys! Just saw this tonight for the first time on Nightly News. What good hearts you have. You rock!
Where is the Avon Marching Band? Like seriously that's the only reason I know this high school even exists.
out of state at the time :/
***** Actually they just weren't a part of it. Some of them were but not the entire band. They are too big to have everybody.
Sorry, this is random, but from looking at your profile picture, I went to Indy Comic Con too (: Haha I went as a clicker from The Last of Us.
The World Drumline was in Dayton for Grand Nationals then and so many of the other band kids were there just with their other club/interests :}
Cheri Griffin The band is just so massive. Forget football, Preforming Arts is where it's at in Avon High School
love how coordinated everyone is!! watch the lip dub for livingston high school! i'd say it could compete w/this
That was incredible! Gave me goosies and I teared up more than once. Great job kids, you will reach your $20,000 goal! Don't be surprised if Ellen showcases this....its freakin' awseome.
Thanks Avon High for showing all those public school haters in this country how amazing you guys are! Much love to you for making my day.
Wow, this is one kickass highschool. My highschool sucked.
Im going here:)
I go their and my brother is coming this year and my little sister is going here In 7 years
NO, this is not a sick school
Lol thank god I was the cool fun kid that made my school have fun and not suck but argh college is next..
Jakka Makka This is my school :)
BEST LIP DUB EVER!!! I' m so glad Pop trigger mentioned it because that's how I heard about it.
It goes to show, that we CAN all come together for a common cause. There is NO reason in the world that people can't put differences to the side and realize there are much more important things in life.
I am still astounded!!! LOL!! Watching again!
I am from UK I love it I have shared this on Twitter and Facebook
Avon killed it....try keeping up Brownsburg
Awesome video, have to admit don't remember the high school looking like this when I went through...man that sounds old lol
I would like to study there. Good video! You guys should know that Neil Patrick Harris has seen the video! Good job.
What a great video, watched it over and over and still see different things. Girl at 156 is awesome, what a presence. Worth watching just for that.
Lol, I busted up laughing when that guy popped up with "What does the fox say?"
And I love the cheerleader, she was so into it!
She was a dancer , the cheerleader is in the black dress she sings clarity
***** The girl singing the Rihanna song, was who I was talking about, though the girl singing Clarity wasn't bad either lol
Aziza Vance Sorry if I got them mixed up, I couldn't see their uniforms very well, the whole video was great, everyone did a fantastic job. Wish my school had thought to do something like that.
you got to be kidding me! That was ONE e.p.i.c, 5+minute continuous shot! Well done !
Would love to see a behind the scenes!
We only did it once and it was TRAGIC and then we filmed it the second time and that was it! The guy who filmed had a rolly chair going through the maze of students.
My High School was like this. Makes me miss it... a bit. Swell Timessss!
Got a B-Town shirt just like that one :)

Great job on the video!
Relieved that you cited Daniel Kim's work, didn't see them broadcast it on ABC news
They did
I saw it on the news and I finally found it.
Oh, ok
My school makes a lip dub every year except we call ours 'operation needledrop' haha. It's always really fun.
I think this is gonna get realllly big.
Lavender it didn’t get big at all
This honestly makes you smile so much!
This is absolutely awesome.
PLEASE!!! RUN ADVERTISEMENTS AND DONATE THE MONEY TO RILEY!!!!!!! I'd vote for that!!
Wow. These students rock. I want to teach at this school. Great job.
I just watched this on the news! You guys did an awesome job!! The full video is great!!
