You've seen 'Lip Sync Battle' on SPIKE TV? Well, now local businesses and organizations will compete to show their moves as they lip sync to popular tunes as a fundraiser for The Grand. The Grand's Board of Directors will open the event with their own version of the 'Muppets Show Theme.' Each team will then compete against other businesses and perform to popular tunes. Lip Sync teams will be judged by a panel of celebrity judges including Laura Smith, morning anchor ABC 7 & Fox 22, Chris Popper of Townsquare Media and Drew Myers from 'The Crown Vics.' The audience votes with their dollars giving to a bucket brigade of volunteers provided by Bangor Savings Bank. Top teams move to the finals and perform a new song for the audience and judges. The winner is the team with the highest combination of judges' scores and donations to the Bucket Brigade. The show is hosted by actor, director and face-maker Robin Jones of The Grand. Local businesses and organizations participating are:
Maine Coast Memorial Hospital
Stanley Subaru
Bar Harbor Bank & Trust
Downeast Y - Early Learning Center
Machias Savings Bank
Rockett Computer
Ellsworth Fire Department
Darling's
Governor's
There is still room for another business or two to compete, so if you are interested in performing and helping The Grand, please contact the box office for more information.
