Show choir is very popular in the Midwest. Competition season is cutthroat for many high schools, but after graduation, show choir pretty much ceases to exist for many. If you were ever a part of show choir, you understand how it feels to part with such an important piece of your high school career. Here are 13 signs that you were a part of the cult they call show choir in high school:

1. You break out into song when you hear certain trigger words.

"Yeah, she had a terrible fall-."

"Hope when you take that jump, you don't fear the fall."

2. Sometimes you do choreo without realizing it.

It can get especially awkward when you're sitting in the dining hall.

3. When you need to, you can change in 15 seconds flat.

Those quick changes taught you a thing or two, like how to get pants on and off without removing your shoes.

4. When you see a stage, you start to drool.

You used to complain about the bright lights, but now you would do anything for them to shine on you again.

5. Meeting someone from a rival show choir is OK because at least they share your love for show choir.

"Did you say 'show choir'?"

6. But during competition season, things may get ugly.

We are no longer friends. Don't speak to me.

7. You still find glitter in weird places.

It isn't logical, how am I still finding glitter in my bras? I didn't even wear this one on stage!

8. You have to explain it to people who didn't have a show choir in their school.

"No, it's not like 'Glee.'"

9. When you see a show choir T-shirt, you can’t help but ask the wearer about it.

"Oh my gosh, you went to Johnston? That upset last year was crazy!"

10. You have your January-March weekend plans all set in September.

Obviously.

11. Xavier’s 2009 ballad.

Yeah. Enough said.

12. You text your high school friends constantly.

All they want to do is get ready for finals, but you can't give them a second of peace. If you can't be there, how else are you supposed to know what's happening?! You don't have the patience to wait for showchoir.com to be updated!

13. You’re sad about not being able to perform on stage, but realize how amazing it is to see what your alma mater has created.

Don't get me wrong, being on stage is an amazing feeling, but seeing all the hard work these high schoolers have put in is even more amazing.
