Audience is everything.

We are group that teaches kids to be themselves, stay positive, stay off drugs, not to drink alcohol, and educate kids on how they can make a difference in their community. They are of the High School age group.

This years theme is Positivity.

High school age boys and girls. Last year we had kids walking around singing The Climb By: Miley Cyrus. Great positivity song!

I'll second Walking on Sunshine, by Katrina and the Waves...it's upbeat, and since we're currently going retro with the 80s these days, it's perfect being an 80s song. Makes you want to sing, move, smile...at least when I hear it.

Second one that popped into my mind is Queen's You're My Best Friend. Was a really "up" song form me when I was in high school, and there's not too many people that don't like Queen.
