Lip Sync Battle set to entertain Rutland crowd

Saturday, April 29, 6 p.m.—RUTLAND—A Lip Sync Battle is exactly what it sounds like. Local teams will show off our vibrant community in a Lip Sync Battle at the Paramount Theatre Saturday, April 29 at 6 p.m. live on stage to raise funds for Wonderfeet Kids’ Museum and its operations, including outreach and ongoing exhibits and programs to meet the needs of the community.

Teams will lip sync and perform a song or medley of songs with determination, raw talent and fun. Judges will award points for accuracy, creativity, and choreography to select the semi-finalists. The audience will participate by text-to-vote to select the winning team. With much anticipation and team preparation, these teams promise to put on a great show and work hard for your votes in hopes to win the battle.

Teams include people from Rutland Recreation & Parks Department, Rutland City Police Department, City of Rutland Fire Department, Green Mountain Power, Rutland Herald and Rutland Regional Medical Center.

“There’s no playbook in terms of content creation for our teams. Teams can come out and show us what they’ve got—we’ll definitely leverage what they give us,” said Eliza Wilcox of Green Mountain Power.

“Wonderfeet has engaged the community in many ways meeting the needs of children and their families. I think this is a fantastic way to support our community partnerships,” said Myra Peffer, Wonderfeet Kids’ Museum executive director.

Tickets are available at the Paramount Theatre box office, by calling 802-775-0903, or at paramountvt.org. Children may attend, but parents are reminded that the night’s content may not be suitable for all ages.

For more information, call 802-282-2678, visit wonderfeetkidsmuseum.org or follow the event on Facebook or #LipSyncRutvt.
