Show choir

Hello fellow bloggers!

Most people say that show choir isn't a sport... but whats the difference Do football or baseball players work harder then show choir kids? Are they more passionate? What are the differences...

Personally I dont think that sports are harder than showchoir. Before practices, we have a warm up and stretch period that everyone has to partake in. Our practices are run just like a sports practice and we work extensive hours and get few brakes. You need to have a high stamina to get through a whole show of dancing and singing. Most sports practices are a couple hours long and so are show choir practices, however, most sports practices aren't constant running. Show choir is constant dancing with singing at the same time. You need to be able to sing, dance and count so you know what to do when. In sports a lot of time there are certain spotlight positions that sometimes have to work harder than others, or the starting team works out more than the second time. However, in show choir the whole groups works out the same. One big difference is when they are competing. When baseball teams have a game, it usually lasts a couple hours. Likewise for a football game. When a show choir group goes to perform it sometimes is a twenty four hour time frame from the time they leave until they get home. In baseball and football, they play against one other team. Baseball sometimes has tournaments where there are more than one team playing, but in show choir there are several groups competing. The amount of players it takes in most sports is much less than in show choir where it takes forty eight to fifty two performers to put on a show.

Similartities are that you can get scholarships in both show choir and in sports, but sports scholarships tend to be better and offer more money or full rides. Both have a coach but in show choir is called a Director. Both require you to be in good shape and have a high stamina. They both require strong commitment and desire to succeed. They both allow for the team members to build bonds with each other that are very strong and create life long friendships and feel like a family. So there are some differences but not many or big differences so why...why do people say sports are harder and why is showchoir considered not a sport. (414)
