Hey Everybody! :)
Now of course I am going ot create an original blog about show choir. Show choir is a passion of mine :) John Burroughs 'Powerhouse' is a show choir from California. Basically every show choir in California does an extravagant flavor of show choir. The theme for their show in 2009 was "Who Made Up All the Rules?" In the beginning of the show the first couple songs were classical but also addresss a type of oppression, and the last songs showed acts of revolt against an outside force.
Sparknotes version:
Beethoven in the beginning and sweet rock bands at the end. (One of the songs is named "Rock Me Amadeus" hehe)
While incorporating difficult choreography, this show choir executes incredible vocals. Trust me, this high school is intense. The vocal quality (intonation, diction, etc) speaks wonders of their music program. This choir takes advantage of so many aspects of music, SUCH AS DISSONANCE!! Ah, they are so amazing. Anyways, I highly encourage all of you to check out their competition show. The talent one can discover within this group of high schoolers speaks wonders of the high school music program.
Type this into youtube and check out parts one and two of their comeptition show. Awesome quality.
