Practice - Warblers
Wes brought that damn gavel with him like it was attached to his body. Blaine could not believe he was pounding the gavel on the stage floor. “Warblers, listen up. The council would like to hear any opinions you may have for the set list for the upcoming Good Will Tour.”
“Right, are you really wanting to hear our opinion, or do you just want us to think we had some say in the music we will sing?” Nick yelled out laughing. Wes knew he was joking, but also knew there would be some seriousness to it also.
“Okay, all joking aside, what songs do you think we should sing?”
Nick decided to throw out his opinion. It certainly didn’t hurt and it would just be a few minutes of his time and breath wasted. “I really think since we are partnering with the New Directions, this would be a good time to use Candles. We could sing that before we sing the songs that we are planning on writing with New Directions.”
“Counsel, what do you think?” Wes glanced at David and Thad for agreement and they all glanced to Blaine for his approval.
“Why do you need my approval, you are the counsel. I am a lowly warbler.” Blaine snickered at this because he knew they valued his opinion greatly when it came to any song he would be singing. “However, if you would like my opinion, I think that is a great idea”, nodding to Nick as he said it. Nick smiled at this approval.
“Then Candles is in.” Wes smiled. “And, so is Raise your Glass, Teenage Dream, Hey Soul Sister and Misery. We need about 5 more songs before we go and then the 3 we are writing with New Directions. Who has some ideas.”
Blaine raised his hand, “I have a few ideas to throw out. Tonight, Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae, Forget You by Cee Lo Green, Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO, I Still Haven’t Met You Yet by Michael Buble, I Can’t Teach Your Boyfriend how to Dance since I sang that for McKinley’s Prom.”
“Wow, Warbler Blaine, you have been thinking a lot about this.” Blaine smiled because, yes he did try to think of songs that would showcase his voice.
Jeff his hand, “Dynamite by Taio Cruz, One Less Lonely Girl by Justin Bieber.”
Nick suggested, “I Want it That Way by the Backstreet Boys, Boyfriend by Big Time Rush,
“Hold it Against Me by Britney Spears, Grenade by Bruno Mars.” Trent Raised his hand.
Flint chimed in with, “Do You Remember by Jay Sean, Yeah or Confessions by Usher, I Got a Feelin’ by Black eyed Peas.
The Counsel has chosen, “I Like It by Enrique Iglesias, Bye, Bye, Bye by ‘N Synch, Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars and For the First Time by The Script as songs that we think would be good.”
“Wow, all of the suggestions are great. I think we should take one at a time and see what we come up with.” Wes ordered, “Let’s begin.” The Warblers were able to solidify 4 more songs and would spend the rest of the week picking the rest. In the end, they would have their final set list.

“All of these are pretty good. Now, we won’t sing all at every show, but at least we have built a repertoire that we can choose from as we need.” Wes and the Counsel felt good about their choices.
