IGNITE, The Official Theme Song for Girl Scouts Rock the Mall, 2012!

Ignite-songcover-4

We hope your summer brought you some great times with friends and nature and maybe even some sweet musical moments with sister Girl Scouts!

Meanwhile, …this is how we spent our summer vacation at Girl Scout Music…!

5, 4, 3, 2, 1….IGNITE!!

We are soooo excited to announce the release of our newest single, IGNITE!!! It is the official theme song for Girl Scouts of the Nation’s Capital, Rock the Mall 100th Anniversary Sing-Along Celebration in Washington, DC on June 9, 2012! And it is the inspiration for the vision of the largest Flash Dance Mob in history with over 200,000+ Girl Scouts expected to participate! This number we hope will set a new Guinness Book of World Records of the largest Flash Mob Ever!! Can you picture yourself there on the Washington Mall singing and dancing with hundreds and thousands of girls and leaders, IGNITING for All Girls around the world?!

Since the word hit the streets in June, 2011 with the announcement of next year’s event, we’ve had a steady stream of emails and calls asking where to find the song to share with their troop and to prepare for their own council’s participation in their 100th Celebration! So instead of waiting for the November Convention in Houston, we decided to make the IGNITE Mp3, the IGNITE Karaoke Mp3, the IGNITE Songsheet, the IGNITE streaming music video and IGNITE free lyrics available NOW for your ignition download!

Here’s the flash mob preview of Girl Scouts Rock the Mall 2012 and the very first preview of the Dance Flash Mob of IGNITE, Girl Scouts of the Nation’s Capital posted on June 20th, 2011!

 

And here is a link to our Girl Scout Music YouTube Streaming video to help you learn the words and melody! IGNITE, The Official Theme Streaming Song Video for Girl Scouts Rock the Mall, 2012!

The Flash Mob Dance Instructional is coming your way very soon!!

We hope to see you at the upcoming GSUSA National convention in Houston on November 8th through the 13th, 2011! Besides teaching Song Leading Workshops and Dance Flash Mob classes, we’ll be hanging out at Girl Scouts of the Nation’s Capital’s Rock the Mall booth. Enough said, there is going to be some GREAT Girl Scout music surprises and opportunities for a 100th Anniversary resurgence of song and dance beginning here, IGNITING into the next 100 years!!!
