Yay! Thanks for commenting Gideon!

That’s a really good point. I think I’m going to go with twenty-eight chapters; double eliminations can be fun, but they tend to feel rushed at other times. Plus I think a loser’s special could be fun and some nice closure.

I knew you would have good theme song ideas! Didn’t disappoint!

I didn’t know the theme of either of these circus songs, so nice to know. One idea for a theme for Frannie was a song that used Entry Of The Gladiators. I like both of these though (and now want to do a whole circus themed season oops).

I’m not opposed to those for Aiden actually! I was thinking an over the top America song or song praising America, just not the National Anthem. I just felt that was the first thing people would think of, and wanted something slightly less obvious. Maybe the other choices might seem as obvious, but they work for me.

America The Beautiful is something I definitely see Aiden crying at every time he hears it though.

(Note to self: steal Javert and Jon Snow for Jasper names)

I like the idea of 4’33’. Thinking about the other noises we hear and engage with. Noticing what’s in the background works amazing well for Jasper haha.

Zac had a similar idea with Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better. I think that might have to be the twins’ theme (naturally they have to share a theme haha). Then again, it would work good for Jenny and Toby too…

Ooh, that’s a really good theme for Cynthia! It feels eerie, like you’re being watched. The fact its know in pop culture for Alfred Hitchcock gives it even more credit.

I was considering Night On Bald Mountain for Cynthia, but was worried it was a bit too…not loud, I guess maybe unrestrained for Cynthia? Not sure if that makes sense, but The Funeral March For A Marionette I think is a better choice.

These all are good choices for Zipporah. I’m always a sucker for the Addams Family, so I naturally lean to that first, and while I mostly watched the series, I do remember the movie versions being very anti-establishment, which fits Zipporah.

The Danse Macabre sounds so familiar, but I can’t figure out where I know it from. That said I feel like I remember learning about Death and the Maiden in college recently. Ironically not in French class, but Native American Lives for some reason related to French priests in Canada…

When The Wind Howls is good too, I love that chorus of ‘I know….’. I’m in a very Halloween mood now haha.

I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of an Olympic theme before! Ode To Zeus sounds wonderful, so I might have to go with that.

I like Javelin for Bethany to! One of the comments says it was for arrivals and departures, which fits Bethany given she has both in her only day haha.

I didn’t realize there were quite a few cowboy ballets. These are all good themes for Vance, but John Williams Cowboys theme sticks out I think.

Unfortunately, I only know the most mainstream of Beyonce’s music, the ones that get radio play, like Single Ladies or Crazy Right Now, which don’t fit Leshawna enough.

Although, Partition is a somewhat new Beyoncé song that might work. Its extremely risqué and sexual in nature, definitely more so than a PG-13 rating, so I don’t think its be the best fit (unless a radio edit exists perhaps).

But it is kind of a girl power song, about a woman owning her sexuality and enjoying a relationship, while also establishing she’s at the top. Leshawna isn’t overly sexual, but is not shy that she has been sexual and certainly is very confident, so maybe?

The real reason that I’d say maybe this Beyoncé song is that it ends in a French phrase, which given Leshawna is French Canadian in LTDI makes it a nice touch.
