A Gang Show is a theatrical performance by youth members of Scouts and Guides. Some Gang Shows have leaders of Scouts and Guides on stage too. Leaders, youth members and parents help behind the scenes. The aim is, through performance, to empower young people to make a positive contribution to society. The production teams and cast (all volunteers) plan, write, compose, choreograph, build scenery and props, make costumes and rehearse for several months. A typical show requires 3 to 6 months of rehearsals. Every show does it differently, but every show has the same three priorities. 1. it is for the young people - 2. it is a public shop window on Scouting & Guiding, and therefore a great PR opportunity - 3. If they are lucky, they will at least break even. Performance runs range from one day to two weeks, and tickets are available to the public. While a Gang Show is purely an amateur production, the costs can be similar to a professional production. ==Gang Show format== The format is a revue or variety show; song, dance and short comedy sketches are the most common. The number of items varies between 12 and 25, some stand-alone, others a series of songs to a chosen theme or a running gag. The format was created by Ralph Reader, the original producer, who wrote material including the signature tune, ''On the Crest of a Wave''. Other "standards" Reader wrote include ''Strolling'', ''Great Great Game'', ''Gee, It's A Wonderful life'', ''A Touch of Silver'', ''Three Cheers'', ''Show Time'', ''Together'' and ''The Scout Hymn''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gang Show」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
