Post Season. Pre Done. (445)

          Well it's that time of the year again people;post season. What is post season, you ask? We'll I'm glad you did! Post season is just after the last competitive performance. Practice gets cut back to nothing, and your tight knit, family like group goes their separate ways, only to meet again back in choir. Which, at my school, not many people have a true passion for choir music or performing that music. so you can assume it's not going to be as fun as performing a show choir show for hundreds and hundreds of people

           Some of the things my show choir friends and family do during this "off season" are tennis, track, and they take place in the spring musical. You can bet that there is a big over lap of people who participate in the musical and people in show choir, so a majority of the time the director or directors have to accommodate to the random practices we still have. I believe that in show choir you are putting on a different persona. The most shy girl of the whole show choir could have the biggest, most bellowing voice of any one, and she may have to act as if she's the most outgoing person ever but in real life she is nothing like that. So show choir is kind of a form of acting. Not so much as actual stage acting, like getting a character and saying lines and all that jazz. So I think that show choir helps push people to do things after it's very own season done. 

          Another thing show choir helps is your muscles. There are some shows that are not very strenuous, those are mostly prep and freshman show choirs. But for my varsity show choir, even when we were just learning the dances, I could feel the muscles forming, and of course being super soar. Because of this muscle building, you could see a difference in the way people play sports that were in show choir. It also really helps with stamina because you have to keep the highest amount of energy possible for twenty minutes straight, And breathing technique. We'll singing in general helps breathing technique but when you add cardio to that it just steps it up a bit. 

         I've been calling it post season for a reason now people. We are not totally done performing yet! We still have the very emotional, cry fest also known as going out concert. After going out concert there will be no other show choir performances and that will no longer be "post season" but it will be the start of a new show choir season.
