I am always impressed with the amount of work that goes into putting together a 21st Century show choir. Ms. Reynolds, former music teacher at Cecil Floyd Elementary, makes it happen. It's also great to be able to reminisce with her about the shows we used to put together at the elementary level - some of the most epic Christmas programs ever performed. I was even able to be on stage myself, playing Santa Claus in one and Grandma (yes, Grandma) in another.
On Thursday, the Joplin Show Choirs performed their post-season showcase, and I was thrilled to attend.

The first group to perform was the all girl group, Touch of Class. I can't believe how energetic and coordinated the group is throughout the show. Hoggatteer alumni, ALY, MACIE, and SOPHIE, are in this ensemble and they rock every minute of the show.
New Sounds is the new middle school group. They have 25 on their team (up from 8, last year), and LIAM is one of only two boys. They had a cute, fun show.
Two of my boys, JOSIAH and TAYLOR, are performers with Sound Dimension, Joplin's coed show choir. The special effects, lighting, props, and makeup put this show over the top, and the boys do a good job of dancing and playing to the audience.
I hope more of "my kids" audition for future seasons. If they do, I could have seven more years to watch Hoggatteers grow up and cut loose on stage.
