The Fabulous World of Show Choir.
Well, to start off, the world of Show Choir is a very hard concept to explain let alone comprehend. But I will try.. Singing and Dancing simultaneously is what we do best. We wear about 5 pounds of makeup, fake hair, and perform 20 minute shows, with 30 second costume changes throughout.. We leave at 7 in the morning and take bus to our destination (usually 2-4 hour trips) and spend all day at the competition watching other show choirs, and of course compete ourselves against them all. (and usually win..not to brag or anything..) We spend he entire day there and leave around midnight, meaning we get back home around 3am.. Hopefully this will give you a greater understanding of what I do. That is just the competition part of it. The practices before are a WHOLE different story. Lets just say I spend more time singing and dancing with my show choir then I do sleeping and spending time with my family combined. But I love it so much. Being on stage...what a great feeling. An even better feeling is knowing that everyone is scared of your show choir because you're so good. We are one of those show choirs. :) Our show is intense, and takes SO much energy. Ask anyone in show choir, IT IS A SPORT. If golf is than show choir definitely makes the cut. The past two weekends we have traveled to Manona Grove and Milton High school. In Manona we received 3rd place, which is good because it is our toughest competition of the year. Then we went to Milton yesterday,and we got SECOND PLACE! We were in second behind the 3rd best show choir in the nation! So we rocked it :) They only beat us by 32 points!!!! I love show choir so much. Everyone in show choir is so animated and chipper. They all love performing and having a good time! That's why it is like another world! All of us show choir junkies are in a building from about 7am-11pm and it is total AWESOMENESS! Here are some pictures, and if you are interested in seeing OASC (<----that's the name of my show choir) then here is a link to our show! :) Love you all!

Jessica, I had no idea. How awesome is that! It should be an olympic sport! I know how much time it takes to make up a routine and have it come out perfect - and for as long as y'all do it - CRAZY! I bet it is hard to fit in everything else. I am so glad you have God in your life or you wouldn't be able to handle it all. :) Love you and I think you are the BEST! (I didn't even hear the sound - I may try it again later)
Thak Tricee! It takes up a ton of time..but it is really really fun. Yes, it is quite long, but it goes by so fast when your on stage! :) Miss you and love you to death!
