SHOW OPENER (Percs)

The purpose of a show opener is to inform the viewer about what type of show will come on next. The television broadcast that I will be doing an opener for is about the greatest percussionists in the world, and how they achieved their greatness. The name of the show will be Percs. This is a pun between the words percussionists and perks (or bonus/plus). Other Title ideas are: Perx or Percks.

The weekly televised show will have guest percussionists  that will tell their stories to a studio audience. The show will be one hour long and aired on VH1, MTV, BET or any other music television station. It does require a presenter who will start off the show, telling the audience what is in store for them. The show will always end with a 5 minute jam session, where cast and audience members pick up trash cans paint buckets wooden sticks and rods and jam out. Each jam session will be started by a cast member playing a simple rhythm. Then someone else, cast or audience, plays another simple rhythm over that one. This pattern continues until you have bunches of people playing different rhythms, all contributing to the song. It will not matter if the audience member does or doesn’t have experience playing the drums because the simple rhythms will be as basic as clapping your hands on the first beat of every measure. Also the crowd will have a prompter to help them keep up. Because this Jam game is played at the end of every show, the show will be widely recognized by it. Some will call it, “that show where they bang on trash cans.“ the audience will be mostly music lovers. People who like drums and famous drummers
