Focus

Focus, seems simple and insignificant right? Well the idea that focus is an "easy" part of show choir could never be more wrong. Every student in a choir needs to look at the conductor to know where the music is going, what the dynamic is, when the entrances are, when the cut offs are, and to know the musicality of the piece. If there is no focus in the classroom, there is no focus on the stage. When one student is not focused, their behavior creates a domino effect on the other students. Soon enough, the class becomes chaos, those who are trying to focus get frustrated, and nothing gets done. Not only is focus important in the classroom, but it is most definitely important on the stage. during a show choir set you have to focus on the music, the choreography, the spacing, and everything else all at once. You HAVE to focus. Unlike stand still choirs, in show choir you have no conductor; all of the performance depends on you.
