Singing and lunch boxes come together for “Let’s Do Lunch!”
I’m thrilled to feature Calabasas High School‘s award-winning a cappella group UNSTRUMENTAL in my latest video, singing our original theme song “Let’s Do Lunch!”
The tune was originally written by my brother, Lucas Richman, for our “Let’s Do Lunch!” webisodes, which you can watch HERE and HERE.
UNSTRUMENTAL’s rendition of the song was arranged, recorded, and engineered by Christopher Given Harrison.
I have to admit, I have a little “in” with this amazing group – my middle daughter Lily, (who starts the song off with beatboxing), is a member! I’ve always been a huge fan of this group and am grateful that my girls have been able to attend Calabasas High. Their performing arts programs are 1st rate. Joshua Barroll is their music teacher and director who oversees no less than five(!) vocal performance groups at this school. When I approached him to see if he’d like to have his students be in the video, he didn’t hesitate for a moment. His enthusiasm is only one of the reasons why Unstrumental excels 🙂

I love the energy and color in your video! These students are awesome and you can tell how much they love performing. My daughters attended a high school with a strong choral program and we always loved that special focus you hear with a cappella pieces. My youngest now takes her lunch to campus or work in one of your Easy Lunch Boxes, because they’re so set-up for salads – her favorite. Congrats on the new colors, and let us know when Let’s Do Lunch – the Sequel – comes out!
Kelly this is so wonderful!
