Show choirs perform their shows. It would be pretty weird if one song would be about love, then the next song about space then one about jazz. So show choirs have a theme. One of the most common themes is love related. Show choir themes can be as crazy as harry potter, black magic, Southern belles. One of the craziest themes I’ve seen was a bird theme. The soloist came down in a bird cage dressed in a yellow feather dress. She looked like big bird. I was 7 when I saw that show. I was literally scarred for life. Along with the theme you need choreography to match it. Most show choirs have costumes. Some show choirs can’t afford nice costumes so they use hammy down ones. Fairfield’s costumes were handmade, personally fitted and sized for us. We had to do this. I'm 5’10 and in the heels I was over 6 feet tall. So my clothes had to be longer than most girls. Personally I think the theme and costumes are very important to winning and having a successful group. Dress to impress as we used to say. PE’s dresses use to cost about 800 dollars, tights and spankys cost 30 dollars, shoes ran from 80 to 100 dollars, jewelry cost about 50 and so did the makeup. Show choir isn’t cheap. Linda Fishback head stage mom who takes care of the costumes of PE said: “We get the best costumes we can because we want to see our children succeed.  Yes people may think it’s dumb to spend over a thousand dollars on a show choir but the parents of kids in sports do the same thing. We spend the money because we love our children and we want them to win. You wouldn’t send your child out on the field without the right gear, would you?” I agree with Linda full heartedly.
