Also, as someone who graduated in 2016, show choir was an enormous part of my life back then... and still is super important to me today. Not to make it about me, but I went into a pretty dark mental health period throughout the past year because of everything going on. College internships canceled, opportunities stripped from me, isolation from friends and family... I bet some people can relate. I know it sounds corny, but seeing these competitions/festivals taking place with groups STILL putting together intricate shows with fantastic vocals and choreography, despite all the odds, was an enormous comfort to me. Witnessing show choir persevere despite all the odds stacked against it contributed to my mental health upswing since I saw my first pandemic-era show choir set online back in January. It was like seeing an old best friend again. It made me realize that things weren't as bad as they seemed. Since then, my mental health has improved significantly, due to a variety of factors, but seeing show choir survive was honestly the catalyst. Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who helped make this year possible, and here's to a better 2022!! Love you all
