The show choir curriculum is focused on the musical theatre, gospel and global pop genres. As sight-singing and vocal technique are covered in the corequisite choir class, most of class time is spent on dance, choreography and showmanship. Students will not only be asked to learn from guest choreographers, but will also create their own choreography throughout the year. A variety of dance styles will be covered in the course. Competitions and concerts serve as formative group assessments in addition to performances for community events.  Students will receive P.E. credit; once the two year P.E.  requirement has been met will receive Fine Art credit.
