Show Choir

• If you haven't seen a high school show choir before, watch this video. It will help to show what we're ultimately building. The show in the video is an early American immigration theme, our show is a Cinderella theme. 

• Costuming: Laura Geisel (Stephanie's mom) is taking the lead on our show choir costuming efforts this year. She and I have come up with a tentative plan for the costuming Debut that will work within the budget of funds already collected. If you're interested in helping with costuming, send me a message! You can view the ideas here:
