23 Struggles Girls Who Were In Show Choir Understand

It's not as glorious as Glee made it out to be.

23 Struggles Girls Who Were In Show Choir Understand

The stage. The lights. The super itchy show dresses that you said you hated but secretly agreed that they looked good on stage. Show choir. I get that there are a lot of struggles when you participate in any event, but some days I felt show choir was more of a struggle than anything else I did. I loved it but love comes through pain. Right? Also, sorry boys. Show choir was rough for you too, but you didn't have to wear panty-hose. This one is for the girls.

1. Early Mornings.

2. HOLY CRAP I FORGOT MY *25000 things you probably forgot*

Throughout my years in the show choir, I have forgotten my shoes, my curling iron, my dress and most importantly bobbi pins. All I can say is, thank God for mothers and the member of the choir that brings doubles of everything.

3. There is never enough outlets

Between curling irons and phone chargers, there are never enough outlets. By senior year you have gotten smart enough to pack a power strip. Even with the power strip, there aren't enough outlets.

4. Bright Red Lipstick

5. If I have to sing this song again I will cry.

6. Oh, they're running late. Suprise.

We were supposed to go on about an hour ago and we still have two groups to go. We need to go on soon because I am sweating like crazy, and the sequins are causing my armpits to chafe.

7. I'm wearing so much blush.

8. Runs in your panty-hose.

9. I have officially used enough hairspray to burn a hole in the ozone layer.

Mother Earth. I sincerely apologize.

10. We've all used so much static spray that I can't breathe.

The things we do to make sure that our hose and our dresses don't stick together. But... The amount used is probably another reason to apologize to Earth.

11. Getting into panty-hose.

12. Slick new show shoes.

13. Why does every show choir always sing Season of Love?

525,600 minutes.

SEASONS OF LOVE LOOOOVVVEEEE LOVE LOVE!!!

My show choir director told us if we ever sang this song, it would be when she was retired.

14. I've done this song probably 200 times, how do I not remember the words or dance right now.

15. I can't even see the audience past these lights.

16. Please. Please don't drop me.

Lifts or flips. Boys. Please do not drop me on my head. I would hate to have to need stitches from being dropped during a show choir routine.

17. Backstage costume changes.

18. Where are my pants?

Looking for your costume change. Or looking for your clothing in the locker room or dressing room afterwards when you are desperate to get out of your dress.

19. What do you mean you forgot your spandex?

Show dresses are made for spinning. If you spin without your spandex people are gonna see way more than they want to.

20. My face hurts from smiling.

21. Stage lights or heat lamps?

22. Late Nights

From last minute rehearsals to late night bus rides back from competition, you were probably up pretty late. The only upside was the late night McDonald's run after a competition.

23. Sparkles. Everywhere.


But despite all the struggles, you wouldn't have traded it for anything.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
