Like I said in the last
blog show choir is mostly seen I high school. Most show choirs are considered mixed
show choir meaning they have girl and guys in them. Mixed show choirs range from
20 Singer/dancers to 60 singer/dancers. Unisex meaning all female or all male
range from 20 singer/dancers to 50 singer/dancers. Mixed show choirs do the
SATB chords while unisex usually do first soprano, second soprano, alto one and
second alto. Mixed and unisex can compete against each other but it’s very rare
for a unisex group to win grand champion over a mixed group. Mixed groups have
such a different sound then a unisex group. My brother and I use to fight about
this all the time. He was in a mixed show choir and I was in a unisex group. Tension
is always high when you compare mixed and unisex together. Both have such
different sounds and harmonies. Most
unisex can only do 4 part harmony while mixed can do 8 part harmony. Also mixed
groups can do partner dancing like swing, tango and the waltz. It would just be
awkward if unisex did that. Tj Rice senior at Fairfield high school said “I enjoy
being in a mixed show choir. The harmonies we make can make people cry. In the
ballad I get a little choked up listening to the people around me. Don’t get me
wrong I love the PE girls their shows amazing but you need to have the tenors
and basses to fill a cord.” I talked to Jenna Pfaff junior at Fairfield high school
and asked her what she thought “I love being in PE, yes choraliers can make
better harmony then us but we strut the stage like no other show choir out
there” I'm bias and I think Unisex groups are awesome. They can rock a 4 part harmony.
