Shockwave Show Choir
The Shockwave Show Choir is an auditioned middle school Show Choir open to all 6-8th grade students interested in participating in show choir. Shockwave is designed to be an immersive show choir experience for students interested in singing and performing. Students will have fun learning a show choir set that they will get to perform along with other show choirs from across the Midwest . Students will gain confidence in their singing and grow their stage presence as the season progresses.
Auditions are held October 5, 6 and 8. – Students need to simply sing “My Country Tis of Thee”
We prefer to see a live audition but, If you are unable to sign up for an audition time because of conflicts with other Fall Activities, you can submit a video recording of yourself singing “My Country Tis of Thee and submit the video here or email to Miss Elli Ess @ eess@isd110.org
