At the Gala

At the Gala or The Gala Song is a musical number from The Best Night Ever, and a sound-alike for Stephen Sondheim's "Ever After" and the title song from the musical Into The Woods. Two months before the episode Daniel Ingram revealed in an interview that his favorite song had not aired yet and was an "epic" song with 20-person choir and a solo part for every pony. The 20-person choir was directed by Monique Creber, the mother of Michelle Creber (voice of Apple Bloom), and the choir parts were recorded at Bryan Adam's The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver. The song has been released as a sing-a-long on the DVD My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Season One Disc 4. Music from this song is used on The Hub's Royal Wedding site's Main Menu as well as in their games Rarity's Bridal Boutique and DJ Pinkie Pie. As with the Hush Now Lullaby and You Got to Share, You Got to Care, the MP3 file used by the DJ game classifies the music as belonging to the blues genre. The song is also included in the My Little Pony Live Show. It is the first track on the Songs of Friendship and Magic soundtrack album, where it is titled "At the Gala Song".
