Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Choose “The Freshmen” when you can tell a serious narrative without overacting and are comfortable holding a quiet room. The lyrics must stay clear because the emotional meaning depends on the sequence of events. Skip it if the event calls for light material or the subject matter feels too heavy.
