[edit]

Why is "SING!" capitalized if it's not an acronym? If this is a stylistic affection, it needs to be noted in the lead. For example, at entry to Marvel Comics' S.H.I.E.L.D., in a reference to the adversarial organization HYDRA, it says, "Despite that name's capitalization per Marvel's official spelling, HYDRA is not an acronym but a reference to the mythical monster, symbolizing the organization's claim of growing stronger the more it is wounded." -- Tenebrae 05:51, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why SING! has always been capitalized, or why the exclamation point is used, so I can't write anything verifiable about this. It's just always been done that way. (At least for the shows - you will notice the film dropped both the capitalization and the exclamation point). And thanks for the other changes you made. Simon12 14:41, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Martin Van Buren High School in Queens Village

[edit]

Sing used to happen at MVBHS. I am an '85 grad and former Sing Commissioner. I think the school did away with Sing about 15 years ago. In the era of Glee, I try to explain Sing to people and they don't get it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.50.119 (talk) 01:25, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of Stuyvesant's 2010 Sing is up on Youtube, and I'm sure there are others up there as well. While it may not help people "get it", it at least gives an idea of what's going in. But which leads to another question. Stuyvesant's Sing has changed a lot over the years. When I was involved in the 1970's, it was basically a standard musical, with a common theme, characters and lyrics running through the show. Now it seems to have a number of individual segments, such as Step, Latin, Indian, Hip-hop, etc. Anyone know when Stuy made these changes, and have other schools gone through similar changes?

Just found a nice history of Sing at Stuvesant here.
