First, we have our choreography week where we learn all of our song’s choreography in one week. The four days can require as much as five or more hours of hard work preparing the set. Usually our choreographers don’t come back to reteach, so it’s up to the performers to watch videos and help each other learn the dances. Here is 2020’s Impact with their two choreographers, Ben Eklund and Dalton Myatt.

Overall, this year’s show choir season was great. To be honest I was kind of worried about the new freshmen coming in because I didn’t know about all the talent, but it turned out that I didn’t have to be nervous because all the freshman, including the sophomores and juniors that make up Impact, are so talented and prove to be important leaders for the group. Even from the very beginning of our season we became close friends with one another, and I think that’s definitely one of the reasons we did so well this year. Another way that really helped us bond as a team was creating a poster. During the start of the season we made a banner with all of our goals for the upcoming competition year, and everybody wrote something they wanted to accomplish on it along with their name. We brought it to each competition, and by reviewing it each Saturday it helped make us stronger and fight to do well. 

I loved this season because everyone worked well together, didn’t argue about anything, and helped each other grow in their skills. When someone didn’t agree on something we talked about it and found a solution, and through our hardships we grew stronger as a team. No, we didn’t win more than one competition, but at the end of the day everyone agrees that it’s the friends you make and the memories you share that are even better than a first place trophy. I’m genuinely so grateful for this season, and I believe that everyone else is too. Both of the groups worked so hard to get their show to what it would look like now, and I can say for everybody that 2020’s show choir season was a great one.
