From poofs to curls, show choir has it all.

1. The Freeze

It get's stuck to the lining of your throat and lungs and is probably slowly killing you.

2. "The Poof"

One of Show Choir fashion's most hideous creations, and yet somehow you're still excited to get it done.

3. Every quick change take about three years off your lifespan.

4. If you get put on the top riser, you mentally resign yourself to the fact that there's a 50% chance you'll fall off and die.

5. You always get annoyed at that one person who thinks they're a special little snowflake and sings about 800 times louder than the rest of the choir.

6. Teasing feels like someone's slowly cutting and scraping your scalp away with a plastic butter knife.

7. The best practices are the practices with the band.

8. Choreography weekend is a traumatic experience, and after about the 8th hour of practice, you're whole body starts to go numb.

9. The best part about competitions: ALL OF THE FOOD EVER.

10. Getting 1st Runner Up is a slap in the face, and makes you feel dead inside.

11. After an almost 24 hour competition and a bus ride home at 4 am, everyone starts getting "the show choir smell."

I can't explain it other than it smells like a combination of hairspray, sweat, food, and the cheap leather that 90% of boy's costume jackets are made out of

12. Changing into your costume and then putting it back up again feels like it takes a collective 93 minutes to do.

13. Even after an exhausting all day and all night experience of singing, dancing, and running for your life when you realize your group's late to warm ups, you still would do it all over again.
