Hi, I am looking for a great ensemble to do approxiametly 10 people for competition. We are having a hard time finding one that is something no one would be doing. We are trying to not do anything contemporary. If you have any ideas I would love to know Thanks

"We Dance" or "Why We Tell the Story" from Once On This Island are both great group numbers.
"Six Months Out Of Every Year" from Damn Yankees is good too.

There is one song from Camelot called Gueneviere that is a book song and not a number.
Played carefully and well, the audience will be able to "see" a huge rescue and battle that could not possibly occur on stage. It can be sung and acted and staged rather than danced.
It can also be tailored to whatever the demographic of your group.
Sunny Side to Every Situation...sweet and simple (42nd Street)
Woohoo Politics and Poker from Fiorello is a really great song, very cute.
Anything Goes from....Anything Goes if you're looking for a dance number. Amazing dance section and a really awesome song.

The Old Red Hills of Home from Parade
The Miracle Song from Anyone Can Whistle
Company from Company
Everybody's Got the Right from Assassins
The Wells Fargo Wagon from The Music Man
The Telephone Hour from Bye Bye Birdie

I'll second Sunday from Sunday in the Park With George. It's one of my all-time favorite ensemble pieces.

hello twleve is fun from Chorus Line. It gives everyone a chance to do a little solo bit, and it can easily be shortened by just eliminating solo portions.
