A show choir is a form of choral
music ensemble that combines singing and dancing to produce a "show"
package. Using pop, Broadway musical, folk, patriotic literature and highly
rehearsed choreography, the concept has grown widely in popularity. In the past
two decades, the show choir (or swing choir) has become a popular addition to
secondary school and college music programs. Show choir has great appeal and
requires many hours of rehearsal and concentrated discipline. As the popularity
of show choirs spread across the country, numerous festival and competitions
have generated the "show" Choir to a high level of professionalism.
However, the show choir is a medium, which allows students to be exposed to an
exciting new aspect of choral performance, as well as a wide variety of music!
