 Well, after a successful season last year, the Bemidji High School Volca Motive Show Choir will begin its journey to uphold their title of Grand Champion. As Josh Peterson shows us how they hope to continue in this game with survival. Coming up their most successful season in 2018, the Bemidji High School Volca Motive Show Choir is looking to defend their title. While it will be a fight to the very end, this year's show is a game of survival. For this show, we just kind of keep moving on with a lot of things we did last year, but having multiple ideas going on in one song. This is the 24th competitive season for the show choir and for this group, this year's routine is unlike any other. There's a part about the Queen of Hearts and just a lot of different game aspects, but it's more about the game of life. Through all the glitz and glam, long hours have been dedicated to not only the vocals, but very intricate choreography. Boys and girls are almost doing different things the whole song or throughout the whole show. I think there's only maybe two sections where we all do the same thing at the same time. While members must move on stage, a reservoir of talent lies behind, providing the full instrumental sound for the performance. So we have a whole bunch of different styles of music going on. So we have jazz, we've got rock, we've got some really pretty lyrical pieces and from all genres. But while the group has rehearsed, more than music and choreography is being learned. The experience alone teaches life lessons. I'll definitely take a moment to remember performing on this stage, both in this and in other activities and also taking away leadership in a way that I never have had to before. Even though the group is looking to uphold their title, they feel it's the chemistry of the group that makes them a true success. The confidence level in the team is really what shows when we're performing. So to carry that year after year after year is what's going to bring us to the next level. With their game face on, Volcomotive looks to continue a successful legacy into the coming season. Impimigi Josh Peterson, Lakeland News.
