The Revue Show left audience members feeling empowered. “This is Me” was the name of the show, a commonly known ballad from The Greatest Showman, which was the final song of the performance. The show was a way to demonstrate strength and resilience in times of despair.
Many students were featured in the show, with solos, duets, small groups, or even just solos in choir songs. Students had endless opportunities to showcase their talent. The show has always had a wide variety of music, and this year the style spanned from Wicked to The Beach Boys to Bon Jovi. Students audition in late March for individual solos and small groups, hoping to make their way into the show after preparing for months.
This year, the school's principal, Jordan Beel, performed with Senior, Logan Leddy. The two played their guitars and sang to Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi. Beel was in the school's choir years ago and got another chance to perform like he used to. “He (Leddy) just asked me and I said yes. I was in choir and I remember the Revue Show was always a highlight of the spring season” said Beel.
One of the final songs of the show was a duet between seniors Landon Dykema and Avery Bookie. The two sang “A Safe Place to Land” by Sara Bareilles and John Legend. The two dedicated the song to Chase Ciolek, a former student who passed away this year. The song aided as a way to comfort those who have been affected, as well as a way to honor his legacy.
The Revue Show is the choir's final performance of the year and is a way to send the seniors off in an uplifting way. The seniors even have a tradition of “Senior Prank Night” on the show's performance on Friday. The Eagle mascot and Spiderman always make an appearance in some way and the audience knows to keep an eye out for them.
The Revue Show has been a highlight for many years and is one of the most beloved performances that the choir puts on.
