"Fab Five"

The Fab Five show choir concert is perhaps one of my favorite show choir performances we ever have. It's very different from all of the other performances, but I think it is different in a good way. At all of the other performances, we perform so we can entertain people, but mostly to win a trophy. We practice all year round, and we're basically judged on how well we are as a group by how well we do in the competitions. I think it's funny how show choir is all about competing, and in many ways I think it is wrong (although there's nothing like winning first place). Anyways, the Fab Five concert is unlike any other concert because it is only about making people happy. It's about entertaining people and giving people a good time. The audience is there because they want to have a good time, and by doing this, the groups can be judged on how entertaining they are, instead of being better than one another vocally or visually.

It's one thing to compete against another group to win a prize and to compete against them for pride. No trophy can replace pride, and when there's no trophy, no group can not have pride because they have not been beaten. Although I think my group could've beat all of the other groups in a competition, I think that all of the groups felt a pride for their own group that day. There wasn't a trophy to erase that pride, and that's what makes the Fab Five competition so special and great.
