What makes people try out? (433)

What Makes people try out for show choir?
I would like to research this question more because it seems like a simple answer. “you try out for show choir to be in show choir because you like to sing and dance.” But over my four years in show choir I have seen many other reasons, not just the joy of performing. I would like to know why the majority of people try out.
It could be because an older sibling was in it. I’ve known people like this; normally they are very passionate about this activity. They tend to have connections from watching sparkly dresses, and handsome boys dancing when they were younger.
They also could have tried out because they want to prove to themselves that they can make it. (This is a bit of personal experience here folks) my freshman year I was in show choir and didn’t think much about it, it was an extra activity to keep me busy. But when I did not make it sophomore year, I was very discouraged. I wallowed in self pity for about a week and then I decided I was done with that, and I was bound and determined to make it my junior year. A year of work later I was happily back in the group.
Some people try out so they can have an activity to be in with friends. Being in such a time consuming activity means having a lot, and I mean a lot of time to spend with friends. From practices to long bus rides, to performance days, hours and hour are spent with the same people.
