- A tagline is a line that is repeated but does not appear in a chorus (there is usually no chorus in a tagline song)

- The bridge usually does not contain the tagline
- You can all sing the tagline together at the end.

- Try to make your bridges as heightening or contrasting as possible
- If you do not all manage to sing the tagline together, try again!
