I was wondering if anyone knew of any good ensemble musical numbers for 8-12 GIRLS. And Forget about the boy is not an option. unfortunately. Also, it's for a competition so we're also looking for stuff that's not so overdone. Please respond! We're desperate!!!

but that only has parts for 6 so it may not help
Oh, oops. But couldn't America be larger than that? Hmm, I guess it's not the best choice. Oh well.

something from Nunsense. Also, if you want slower and more old-fashioned, Many A New Day (very cute) from Oklahoma!
What about SPA Music from Nine? (someone correct me if thats the wrong song title, please) I believe it's the opening number, and has all the women mirroring the instruments in the orchestra, making beautiful harmonies - its a thrilling piece of music, when performed well.

You could also look at "The Wedding Ceremony" (Dju Vui Vai) from Miss Saigon. When performed right it is absolutely stunning.
