Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Question for Everybuggy!  I need some help...

At my school, we have this Renaissance Festival where we celebrate Shakespeare and the time period during which he lived.  It's on April 1st this year.  Each grade does a different Shakespeare play during this festival.  However, each play is condensed a lot (there are four scenes that all have to be a minute and a half) and there are different guidelines each year for the plays.  Last year, we had to perform the plays in a different setting, and this year, we have to choose four scenes from our play to show a certain theme.  The eighth grade is doing A Midsummer Night's Dream, and our theme is Crazy Love.  To tie up loose ends, we have narration, and we're using an Academy Awards theme for it.  So, the narrators are Anne Hathaway and James Franco.  At the end of our narration, Puck gets an Oscar (it's a long story, but just go with me here), and before he can give his acceptance speech, the music comes on and he has to go.  So here's my question.  My English teacher wanted me to play the music that leads Puck off of the stage on my violin.  But I have no idea what to play!!  Does anybuggy have any ideas?  I need to pick something by Monday. 

Sorry if that made no sense.  I can always clarify if necessary.  Admin, you have any ideas?  

Thanks in advance!

That sounds wild, Leaf! I'd love to see it. I saw A Midsummer Night's Dream performed outdoors in a clearing the the woods one summer, and it was great. H'mm, music for Puck . . . Do you know any of Mendelssohn's incidental music for A Midsummer Night's Dream? Or how about a lively fiddle piece, Cripple Creek or something like that? Or For He's a Jolly Good Fellow? Or maybe some wedding music such as Polka from the Bartered Bride? Or some familiar American folk tune like Camptown Races or even Yankee Doodle? I'm sure some of your fellow Chatterboxers will have some better ideas. Let us know what you decide and how it goes.
