On June 11, 2002, the world watched as a new leader in the genre of reality TV was born. American Idol was something fresh and exciting, the opportunity of a lifetime for many.

If you are not familiar with what Show Choir is, and the amount of time and work ethic you need, then you are in for a big surprise. Show Choir has evolved over the past years increasingly. Forget the young men and women in dark jackets and dresses standing on old risers and singing nice choral pieces. Show Choir has become a mini-musical sport. Many claim that Cheerleading and Marching Band is considered a sport, why should Show Choir be any different? Yes, show choir is mostly singing and dancing, but there is much more to it than one would think. I would know this because Show Choir has been a part of my life for almost 3 years now. I have experienced the hardship, fun, disappointment, pain, time, and joy, but it all paid off at competition when we would go to awards and see how we placed. Show choir is a sport, just as much as “cheerleading” or “marching band.”
I chose to join show choir because I thought it would be a good way for me to leave my comfort zone and try something new and fun. The first time I thought of auditioning for show choir was when I saw them perform during my sophomore year. They sang and danced to a song titled, "Till the Love Runs Out" and the sound and choreography they did just blew me away. I knew then that I wanted to be a part of that choir.

Johnny Cash said it best, “Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.” Country music is everywhere, blasting from a lifted truck, a store, or a local bar, ranging from Classical country to Pop country. Country music is not just words written down on a piece of paper, they are more than that. The artists can write songs that most people can relate to. Alan Jackson and Luke Bryan are both very known country singers, but are different when it comes down to managing their careers.

Imagine four cute, cuddly, crime fighting penguins going on various adventures and completing missions in order to protect their beloved home. They narrowly escape death and act as if they are immortal. This is reality on the Penguins of Madagascar show, but not all penguins can be like these special four, moreover be immortal. Penguins have different lifespans, and do not stay alive forever. Throughout their lives, they give birth, but also see some of their closest friends pass away. For example, the Falkland Islands started with 1000 penguins, but with the births and deaths each year, the population is becoming hard to keep track of. This is where math comes in handy. A formula can be used to calculate the population each year. If each couple has a chick every spring, and the penguins only die due to natural causes, a formula to keep track of the population is 1000 multiplied by the quantity of 1.2 raised to the power x.

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop would not be who he is today without his inspirations, James Brown and Jackie Wilson (Taraborrelli, 2). James Brown, the godfather of soul, emphasized the genre of soul and the formation of a new music style called funk. He was a well-known singer, dancer, composer and performer.
