Background info for this year's show.
The setting is a 3rd grade classroom where each student is participating in Career Day where she portrays what she wants to be when she grows up.
The show theme has many connections to us as a group of professional women who come from various careers such as healthcare, real estate, insurance, horticulture, social services, etc.. We have several active and retired educators among us. The school related theme and the charitable nature of our chorus, has motivated the supplies donation and student admission. We have collaborated with DHS in the past as a trophy and advertising sponsor for the Midwest Show Choir Competition.
