This is one of the reasons I'm really happy that my daughter found show choir. Choir sucks. My kids hated it. I hated going to watch it. Bunch of terrible old songs that no one knows. Now she's singing and dancing to pop songs and show tunes on the stage and it's far more engaging for her. I do think it also helps that show choir is a tryout based program so the floor for interest and talent is far higher than with the regular choir.
