Look at this Variety; Wittenberg Choir Variety Showcase

Next weekend, I'm vying to win the coveted "Variety Show Winner" trophy.

My choir, the Wittenberg Choir, is holding its annual variety show on Sept. 19th and 20th at 8pm in Krieg 300.

The show will start and end with numbers from the entire choir, and in between, it will showcase 17 vocal solos, duets, and comedy routines. I have a solo, covering the contemporary piece "Clarity" by Zedd (featuring Foxes), and am dead-set on putting on a grand show.

The show is my choir's main fundraiser of the year. Tickets are free for Wittenberg students when they show their ID cards, and $4 at the door for any non-student.

There will also be a female number intended to captivate the men in the audience, with a seductively-choreographed rendition of "Baby Love" by the Supremes. The men have planned to serenade the women in the audience with a rendition of "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys.

At the end of the show, audience members may "vote" on their favorite performances by donating money into buckets representing each act (all proceeds will go to the choir for transportation and competition funding, as well as choir necessities such as sheet music). The act that pulls in the most money will receive the trophy, and bragging rights for the rest of the choral season.
