Two words; Show Choir. It’s a place to let loose, and be who
you want to be without anyone judging you. A place where you can step on stage,
and for at least 15 simple minutes, feel like royalty. Somewhere where you can
sing your heart out; dance like nobody’s watching; and get applause for it.
THAT is Show Choir.
People are so stereo-typical
about show choir kids. That we’re stuck up; And only sing cheesy songs. Well,
let me tell you something right now; we are more than that. We work hard to do
what we do. So go ahead and tell me that and eight hour choreography rehearsal
is easy. You couldn’t be more wrong. It’s like a work out.
Memorizing choreography is just a
small part of it. Don’t forget the vocal part. You have to hit every note
exactly, to make sure it sounds amazing. Don’t even get me started on facial
expressions. You have to “pull” the audience in. Make them believe the words
you’re saying.
It’s worth it, though; all that hard work;
whether you win or not. You become a family, looking out for each other,
helping each other with the things we don’t understand. No matter what, we
stick together.
Bottom line, Show Choir isn’t
just a term. It’s a sport, a pastime, a workout, an enjoyment, a big part of my
life. It’s just as important as football, or dance team, or mock trial. It’s
what I love to do, and I’ll strive to do the best I possibly can.
