January 21, 2009

Today in class with my group I brought my topic of Show Choir to discussion with them. I was in show choir while in high school and this is a topic I would really enjoy doing some research on. One thing someone in my group told me is that I could see if the new t.v. show "Glee" has made show choir any more popular. Some other questions of mine are who is interested in show choir? What does it take to be a part of a group like this? What does show choir consist of? How did a group like this begin? Fundraising is a big part of show choir, why is this? What part of the country is it most popular in? How does it affect school work? What are show choir competitions like? How are students that are in show choir viewed by their peers who are not? Does show choir keep kids out of trouble because of how much time in consumes? How much does someone need to know about music to be apart of show choir? I haven't thought of one main questions, but these questions will get my brain working and help me decide on one definite question.

  1. I know this is a do-able subject because one of my students did this last year. She focused on the "drama" of show choir in terms of the cliques, power relations, and behind-the-scenes interactions among members.

    Have you been able to find any books or articles on the subject?
