Show Choir

Every year show choir auditions are a thing that happens. There are many different parts that go into a show choir. There are the singers and the dancers. They are the main component of the group as they are what the audience will see and they are what the audience watches and listens to mainly and mainly hears. It is the main focus of show choir so they are arguably one of the most important pieces, but however every component is very important. There is also the tech crew. The tech crew does the behind the scenes work with bringing the microphones backstage and to the soloists, as well as getting the costume change ready and the various props that are used and making sure that those props are ready. The tech dads also help with this, along with creating the props and set that are needed for the show and performance. The director is present as the director instructs the singers on their singing and dancing, leading practices and basically being their coach. There are also choreographers, sometimes one and sometimes multiple. They come up with the dance moves for each song and they teach the dances to the singers and dancers. Then there is also the combo. The combo is the band of the show choir. They perform behind stage and they provide all the music except for what you hear that comes from the singers. They provide the beat and do all of that stuff.

A lot of people greatly enjoy show choir as it is something that is both physical and mental and it combines with music and singing and dancing and all of that jazz. It is kind of a combination of the south and north ends of Kennedy High School. I say that because of the split of the ends of the school. The south end of Kennedy High School is mainly sports as that is where the two gyms are located as well as both locker rooms and the pool and the sports equipment is stored there and the weight room and wrestling rooms are also there. The track is near there, as well as the varsity fields that are located on campus and other fields to practice on and the tennis courts. Thus, the south end of Kennedy High School is predominantly sports oriented. The north end of Kennedy High School is mainly drama and music oriented. At the north end of the school are where the orchestra department, band department, and choir departments are all located. There is also the two auditoriums in the north end of the building, the bigger and regular auditorium and the smaller room called the black box which is just as it sounds-it is a black box. Those are where activities such as musicals, plays, speech, theatre, show choir and other stuff happens. Thus show choir is popular because it sort of combines both ends of the school together in the physical dancing and the theatre and drama and music related singing.
