Show Chorus

Spring 2026 (CLASS IS FULL) Click to be on a waiting List

20th Spring Anniversary of Mr. Caponi’s Show Chorus. Want to make this a special one!!

I’ve included a little history of why I have chosen this set.

Our Chorus began 20 years ago and consists of children grades 2nd through 10th Grade. It is perfect for a child who may be shy but wants to be more comfortable performing on stage- but it is also great for more seasoned performers who would like to audition for solos and have the exposure of singing a solo at a larger venue. If you have a child younger than 7, we recommend our VPK-6 year old Musical Theater Class.

Mr. Caponi has been directing the show chorus since its inception.

We are proud to have had our chorus students featured at Walt Disney World, Downtown Celebration, Gaylord Palms Resort, UCF Arena, United Way events, retirement homes, the National Anthem for the Magic and Braves, The Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center, and even auditioned for America’s Got Talent.

We meet once a week and will spend the first five minutes on music reading, scales, and vocal warm-ups. The remainder of the time will be spent learning our music for the session along with stage choreography

Under the direction of Mr. Caponi
Entering Grades 2-10

Spring 2026 Anniversary Repertoire Below

20th Anniversary Showcase

Bringing Back the Most Popular Music from the past 20 years

My Shot (from Hamilton)

(Arranged by Lin-Manuel Miranda/arr. Roger Emerson)

“Hamilton” is without question the most creative, talked-about musical to hit Broadway this millennium! In this standout selection from the show, the lead characters lay out their plans for victory despite their personal hardships. A wonderful way to connect students with American history!

Note from Mr. Caponi: This was the first true piece I tackled 4 years ago, and still has stood as one of the greatest performances we ever put together. Click HERE for a preview.

John Denver In Concert (Arranged by Alan Billingsley)

This medley contains four hits by John Denver, from the lively Thank God I’m a Country Boy and Take Me Home, Country Roads to the gentle Annie’s Song and plaintive Rocky Mountain High. Straightforward choral writing allows the country pop feel to shine through and the optional instrumental parts add to the flavor.

Note from Mr. Caponi: This has to go down as one of my most favorite medley’s to teach my students 5 years ago, and I even brought it back only 2 years ago and have no choice but to celebrate it on our 20th Anniversary. I could do this each season. Click HERE for a preview

The Best of Bond… James Bond (Arranged By Alan Billingsley)

This medley of top James Bond theme songs features James Bond Theme; The World Is Not Enough; Skyfall; Goldfinger; Goldeneye; You Know My Name; A View to a Kill; Nobody Does It Better and Live and Let Die. Have fun with a variety of musical styles – from Adele to Shirley Bassey and from Paul McCartney to Duran Duran.  

Note from Mr. Caponi: I have taught at least 15-20 action packed medleys in my 20 years, but this one ‘hands down’ was a fan favorite and for the past 4 years, previous students still talk about it to this day. Click HERE for a preview.

Songs from Stranger Things (arr. Alan Billingsley)

The sci-fi thriller series Stranger Things has reawakened interest in 1980s songs, pop culture, and fashion – along with genuine scares, mystery, and suspense. Each episode features classic ’80s pop songs, five of which are featured in this medley. Songs include: Should I Stay or Should I Go; Every Breath You Take; Material Girl; You Don’t Mess Around with Jim and Runaway.

Note from Mr. Caponi: Years ago, I wanted to do something very different and what better way than an 80’s tribute , especially with Stanger Things. This was one of our biggest hits 5 years ago with the community. Glad to bring it back. Click HERE for a preview

Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride

(Arranged by Alan Silvestri & Mark Keali’i Ho’omaluarr. Mac Huff)

Hang onto your surfboards! This Hawaiian-flavored song is the highlight of the animated musical hit “Lilo and Stitch.” There’s even a Hawaiian pronunciation guide included in the score. Cowabunga!

Note from Mr. Caponi: 20 years ago, I was so very nervous choosing anything for my students to sing. I had no idea what I was doing, but I figured let me try something fun I knew they would enjoy. This song I feel made us who we are today. Click HERE for a preview.

September (Arranged by Roger Emerson)

,

“Bah dee yah, say, do you remember, bah dee yah, dancing in September.” You know it, you love it. This 1978 #1 hit song from Earth, Wind Fire is a timeless favorite. This accessible arrangement features plenty of unison and stacked pop harmonies that make it easier to sing than ever!

Note from Mr. Caponi: This is Mrs. Caponi’s all time favorite song and I, finally, gave in finding an amazing arrangement. This was two years ago and WOW, all the kids loved it and it was such a fan favorite. Click HERE for a preview.

Top of the World (arranged by Mac Huff)

This Mac Huff arrangement perfectly captures a Carpenters classic. The song has definitely stood the test of time.

Note from Mr. Caponi: As a director, I spend countless weeks before I launch a new season choosing what kind of music I am going to choose. One thing I always try to do is introduce the classics; music our current generation may not be familiar with. What better way than to pick The Carpenters. Click HERE for a preview.

Remember Me from Coco

(arranged by Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez/arr. Roger Emerson)

.

From the Academy Award-winning composers of “Frozen” and the Disney/Pixar animated film “Coco” comes this tender song of remembrance that won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and continues to rise in strength and popularity. This wonderful choral adaptation opens with an optional solo but grows into a powerful statement of comfort that will reach into your hearts with peace and assurance.

Note from Mr. Caponi: I have taught many tear-jerkers in the 20+ years teaching Caponis and my elementary music position, but this will go down as my all-time favorite piece. I am even shedding a tear as I am typing this, but if and when I ever retire, this will be the song I will finish my crazy career with. Click HERE for a preview.

• VERY IMPORTANT–Performance time is approximately 45 minutes and will be the first time we will have an intermission due to the long amount of singing.. Please keep in mind that although our show chorus does not require auditions to join, there are opportunities for solos depending on the songs that are chosen for the season. For anyone that is interested in ‘possible’ singing or speaking solos, we will be looking for how your child projects, their pitch, and stage presence. Dates will be provided for parents in advance on when your child would audition for various solos.
• We will, also, be ordering new polo shirts in January with a slight color change and a 20th Anniversary Logo. Polo shirts are a separate purchase ($30) and will be ordering in Mid-March.
