Music- Showchoir, and how it's not Glee AT ALL

Many people have heard of showchoir before. Many that have heard of it think they know everything about it from Glee. Boy, are they wrong.

Yes, Glee may be the easiest example of showchoir. But let me tell you how it's NOT showchoir.

#1: choirs have a bit more than 12 people.

#2: A choir NEVER sings through an entire song the day they get it. It's pretty much impossible to. We get through... oh say... 5 measures, maybe? 10, if it's easy. (For you nonmusical people: thats 20-40 seconds of singing.)

#3: The choreography? A bit harder. Think: more arm movements. Plus, choreographers.

#4: Choir directors have music credientials. (No offense, Mr. Shue!)

#5: Entire songs aren't solos. Mostly, it's the whole choir singing together.

#6: The costumes have more sparkles. I'm dead serious. Did you know that the number one high school choir in America, In Sync of BHS, has a Bedazzler? As in a person. No lie.

But it is like my choir experience, in some ways, like.....

#1: The P.E. teachers hate choir. Why? Nobody really knows...

#2: Competition is important. It's the only way to prove ourselves to the band kids.

#3: There is plenty of drama. Drama with drama dressing with a side of drama.

#4: There is favoritism. In Glee, it's Finn and Rachel. They sing too much.

But hey, it's a good show. Can't wait for next season!
Luh-ve yah!


oh, and btw:
in sync>powerhouse!!!!!
