Linn-Mar Show Choir Needs Your Help!
This year's Linn-Mar hosted show choir competition, Supernova, unfortunately met its match this weekend and was forced to cancel due to a plethora of winter weather. The process of bringing a competition to fruition is a long and tumultuous one. Our Supernova committees and chairs have tirelessly worked since August to bring this event to life, and unfortunately were met with a blizzard and travel advisories. I know how meaningful this event is to our community and students and it was difficult to make this ultimate decision.
Though we were able to recoup a lot of potential losses, the lack of fundraiser will be difficult to navigate for the Show Choir Department. Supernova is far and away our largest fundraiser of the year and brings 10s of thousands of dollars to offset costs of producing these high-level opportunities for students. Please consider making a donation to the LM Show Choir program to help fund the future of the department!
Many Thanks,
Trent Buglewicz
IT'S A PRODUCTION
The Linn-Mar Show Choir Program is made up of approximately over 300 students at the high school. The three ensembles, Hi-Style, a treble voiced prep show choir, In Step, a mixed-voice prep show choir, and 10th Street Edition, a mixed-voice varsity show choir, begin their work with a choreography learning camp in August and proceed to learn a 20 minute competition show that they work on for the duration of the year.
The shows are fully choreographed with technical instruction by some of the best choreographers in the country, arranged into 4-8 vocal parts, costumed to the theme of the production, and rehearsed for approximately 4 months before each group takes their show to competition. Each group involves a group of singer/dancers, a 10-20 piece band, and a group of 10-20 crew members.
