A sing-along is an event of singing in unison at school assemblies, gatherings or parties; common genres are folk songs, pop songs, hymns and drinking songs.
==Among animals== Group vocalizing is known in several animal species. For example, a lion pride and a pack of wolves are known to vocalize together (supposedly to defend their territory), although some scholars do not characterize their vocalizations as "singing". Gibbons sing in family groups (couples sing together, sometimes with their offspring). Various species of birds also sing in duets and choruses, particularly in the tropics.
