Boys’ and Girls’ Club pulls out all the stops with annual Airband competition

Taking the Amphitheater stage by storm Thursday afternoon, Clubbers presented the ever-popular, much-rehearsed, always-exuberant Airband lipsync competition. With costumes, props and song choices to consider, at the end of the afternoon, SAC Girls took the top spot as overall winners with their performance of “SAC Girls Spooky Stories.” Other winners — though who could ever lose at Airband? — included Group 8 Girls’ “Realistic Super Bowl Watch Party” taking home the titles for both people’s choice and best costumes/props; SAC Boys picking up best music choice; Group 7 Boys winning best choreography for “7B Plays the Wii;” Group 6 Boys getting the nod for most original with “6B Space Expedition,” and Group 5 Girls winning best lipsync for their turn with “5G Joins an A Cappella Group.”

  • Group 5 Girls, taking inspiration from some popular Amp performances, get in on the fun with “5G Joins an A Cappella Group.”
  • Group 6 Boys go out of the world with “6B Space Expedition.”
