Show Choir

Show choir is a select ensemble that dances while singing.  The season starts in September with rehearsals two to three times per week before school for 45 minutes.  Students will build strong singing skills while doing physical activity to prepare the group’s 15-minute show for competitions and performances in January and February.  Seventh and 8th grade students are encouraged to audition for show choir.  The audition includes a dance routine and singing a song.  All audition materials are reviewed in choir class, as students must be enrolled in choir to be in show choir.  Side Kicks, the 7th grade show choir, has auditions in September, rehearses Monday and Wednesday mornings, and performs in three competitions and one concert.  Side Effects, the 8th grade show choir, has auditions the May prior to 8th grade; rehearses Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; and performs in five competitions, one concert, and one assembly.
