Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

When introducing what will happen or exist at an event, we use the existential 'there will be' construction. The sentence should read 'Among other things there will be a song and dance party.' 'Shall be' and 'is' are grammatically incorrect here, while 'I shall have' incorrectly changes the subject to the speaker.
