 For 23 years the Bemidji High School Volcomotive Show Choir has been competing across the region as one of the state's top show choir programs. Josh Peterson tonight shows us how this year's show has the group derailed. With many rehearsals and long hours the Bemidji High School Volcomotive Show Choir has been busy putting finishing touches on this year's show. This year's routine takes the audience aboard a crazy train ride that ends up being derailed. It's about trying to get started in life and we use the symbolism of getting on a train and we end up on a crazy train of life. For seniors this year's show is unlike any other the show choir has performed in recent years. We think the show is really different. It's got a more like personal feel I think compared to other years I've been in. With expectations running high ahead of their first competition the message presented in this year's show is one of inspiration. Whenever you get down there's always light at the end of the tunnel. Everything's gonna be okay in the end. For the group the hope is that this year's performance will leave the judges with a story that they will remember. You could have the same show take the story away and it's not as good as the show so the story is definitely a huge huge aspect in the judging I believe. But when the show choir season comes to an end it's all the memories and friendships that were formed that will last a lifetime. I really enjoy the people in the community I like hanging out with all the people and I just think it's really fun activity to do. For some members this marks the final year of their show choir career making sure that every performance counts this season. This year I was selected to be a dance captain and so I'm so thankful for that opportunity and so I've been really giving that extra 150 percent to make sure that I can make the show as good as I can. With the team all on board this year's competitive season should be one crazy train ride. Inbemiji Josh Peterson, Lakeland News.
