About Our Show Choir Program
Russell Middle School is proud to offer two competitive show choirs: Leaders of the Pack (varsity) and Subwoofers (JV). Each ensemble generally has about 50-60 performers each and will work together throughout the year to put on a 10-15 minute show with high-energy singing and choreography. These ensembles are accompanied by our student band & crew, Wolfbeat, who provide us with sound & lights, as well as set, prop & costume help. Our show choirs will perform several times each year, not only in community performances, but at competitions throughout January and February.
Show choir is a difficult but rewarding activity that is very athletic in nature. Students will work hard individually and as a team to put together their shows and accomplish their goals throughout the season. Instilling work-ethic, building a strong community, and giving kids a safe environment to explore and perform are the core values of our program.
