Show Choir Essentials

It's show choir season everyone! Time for long bus rides, teased hair, and the best bonding time with your show choir family. My first show choir competition is this Saturday and I am so excited! When you arrive at the show choir competition, you are there for an entire day, so its important you pack all the right things when you arrive at the high school. This blog post will talk about some things you might not think of bringing, but can really improve your day at the show choir competition!

Always, always, always, stay hydrated this season! No one wants to lose their voice during show choir season, make sure you bring a water bottle with you to everything show choir related. It's important to stay hydrated so make sure you can perform your show at 100%. But of course, make sure you have a water bottle with you after you perform your show!

If you have the usual show choir hairstyle with lots of teasing or poofs, make sure you bring a teasing comb. Regular hair brushes cannot tease your hair as well as a teasing comb can, so invest in a teasing comb, I promise it's worth it! I also recommend buying  a teasing comb with a sharper end so you can also part your part with the teasing comb. And with the teasing comb comes the hairspray. Make sure you have a full can of hair spray with you cause you'll need it! My absolute favorite hairstyle to use is the Big Sexy Hair Spray and Play Hair Spray. This hairspray works wonders, one spritz and your hair will stay in place for an entire day.

If you're going out of town and will be riding in a bus to get to the competition, bring a blanket with you! If you live in the midwest, it's snowy, windy, and cold, so stay warm with a blanket. Plus, when you are on the bus on the way home from the competition, a blanket can easily help you fall asleep and stay warm.

Finally, bring something to do during the competition. You are usually at a show choir from 8AM to 2AM so it's important to bring something to do when your not performing. I always bring my knitting with me cause it's easy to carry with me and can allow me to do something else than just watch the show choir performances without completely distracting me from what's going on.

Happy show choir season everyone and may the odds be ever in your favor!
