 For 22 years, the Bemidji High School Vocal Motive Show Choir has showcased some of Bemidji's best talent. Our Josh Peterson got a sneak peek at the show choir's final dress rehearsal before they compete this weekend. The music, the moves, the mood. It's all part of Bemidji High School's Vocal Motive Show Choir's latest competition show. For those enjoying the show, you get the experience of entering the show choir's state of mind. We always have a theme for each show, and this year it's about how we perceive our experiences. For Vocal Motive members, the show is a chance to work as a team, explore, and learn. I really like it this year because the show, as well as going through a lot of different moods and themes, it also showcases a lot of different styles of singing and dancing. Not only are we showcasing these different emotions and mental states of our minds, so to say, but we're also feeling them, as well. For some of the show choir's members, this is their first attempt at performing, creating an opportunity for growth and teamwork. It's a lot about repetition, and it's a lot of small details that are really important. The guy's song this year is one of the most difficult guy's songs we've probably heard that I feel choreography-wise, so it's been kind of a task to help these guys get to where they need to be for their first competition. Not all the hard work in performing happens on stage. During the performance, a team of techies and a show choir band help pull the entire show together. I guess it was just like, alright guys, you just need to stay calm for the performer because if you start freaking out, it's just going to break a shade off of their stressness. Try to make it so it's very clean because if we're not clean, then they're not going to dance clean, and if we get off, then they're not going to do well. But their competition season, set to start this weekend in Onalaska, Wisconsin, VocalMotive is ready for showtime synergy. In Bemidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News.
