We will have a few opportunities to rehearse the dance before the official record-breaking attempt. Remember – Thrill the World is open to dancers of all skill levels. The most important thing is to HAVE FUN!

The event will be held OUTSIDE of the Scranton Cultural Center, located at 420 N. Washington Avenue in Scranton, PA. We will convene beginning at 5:00 PM. On the day of the event, participants are encouraged to come in their best zombie or Halloween inspired look, but it’s not required. You’ll check in with the SCC team (for reporting purposes) and we’ll have a few opportunities to practice the dance before the official world record attempt. The dance will be live-streamed on the Scranton Cultural Center Facebook page, so please encourage family and friends to cheer you on from home.

JAMES BARRETT
James Barrett’s “before” looks a lot like yours. After releasing his debut LP The Price of Comfort, the Scranton singer-songwriter moved onto his next planning phase, stuck between eras labeled by plaintive acoustic tracks and the ringing clarity of a full-band effort. In October 2019, Barrett began writing what would become his sophomore record. It’s a love letter to the hushed splendor of The National and the spaced-out bombast of Angels & Airwaves, embellished with a theatrical identity boosted by live strings, horns, and good friend Amanda Rogan lending vocals to many moments. Barrett intends to release the record later in 2021.
