The 2026 Lip Dub is preparing props for the May 8 schoolwide annual event which the whole school and community are involved in.
Kelly Hawkins a business education teacher and ASB advisor loves being involved in the lip dub and her involvement within the event.
“The thing I love about being involved in it is the fact that it includes everyone at the school,” said Hawkins.
Isaac Oporto, a senior at Sedro-Woolley Highschool, ASB president, and Lip Dub organizer agrees.
“My personal favorite thing about the lip dub is the involvement,” says Oporto.“The involvement and the community that we create while filming this. Not only that, we’re just a bunch of high school students just filming a lip like a video. We’re all basically working together, making this cool thing that everyone gets to be represented in, not just the students, but also our faculty, our community. It involves everybody.
Oporto first gathered his lip dub committee then they began brainstorming songs and prop ideas. After spring break they plan to start sign ups for the lip dub and match what songs should go to what part of the school.
“I created this big book called the Lip Dub project book, and it’s like 21 pages long,” said Oporto. The book outlines the whole planning setting up and process. It also allows for people to sign up for specific jobs.
Hawkins talks about how amazing Isaac is and how much hard work he’s put into planning this year’s lip dub
“Isaac is amazing,” said Hawkins. “Isaac has created a whole pamphlet full of details to run the lip dub.” Details like song choice, getting permissions,running through the map, voting for songs, choreography, making sure he gets the best people to do all of these different jobs. “He does an amazing job of organizing other students and putting all the details together. He is a great manager.”
Some of this year’s songs include songs such as “Head over Boots” by John Pardi, “Man I Need” by Olivia Dean, “Where’s my Husband” by Raye, and many more. The next Lip Dub practice will take place Thursday April 30 during cub time.
