I believe Haakon made it so that "show choir" is always separated. Back in the day we all used to get so mad at everyone who said show choir. I think it just got on our nerves enough
*edit SEE!!!! It made it into two words when I typed it out!!!! showwwchoir
We're looking forward to hosting 28 groups this weekend during the 7th annual Dutch Masters show choir invitational. If you are coming to DM, make sure you say hi. Follow along on Twitter and Instagram through the hashtag #DMshow choir (all one word...for some reason, keeps breaking it up when I post) for results, commentary, video challenges, pictures, and general merriment. Just because we don't have 4A schools competing doesn't mean we can't have fun
The members of AcaPella, Bravo and PELLAdrenaline are getting excited for Dutch Masters 2015...
Looks like the competition will be fierce for the six spots in finals on Saturday night. At least nine of the competing groups this year have made finals here in the past three years, plus there are several great new groups that will be making their Dutch Masters debut. I'm sure the competition will be intense!
Search #DMshow choir on Twitter and Instagram to keep up to date with the competition, including videos, interviews, surprises, contests and more!
