I am a middle school general music teacher. I also direct the 6-8 grade chorus and was looking for a way to promote the chorus - especially to the new sixth graders and to the middle school boys. I composed this rap and performed it during the lunch periods, complete with baseball hat, sunglasses, big sports T-shirt and background music (you can download instrumental hip-hop/rap accompaniments on iTunes). Here is the rap (obviously feel free to personalize and tweak to fit your situation):

So, if your mind has changed as you listened to my rap,
Stop on by and see me and I'll sign you right up!
