Show Chorus

Fall 2023 Show Chorus Registration Is Now ‘Full’ Register to be on the waiting list or stay tuned for spring classes.

Our Chorus began 18 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 18 years ago.

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

• Performance time is approximately 30 minutes. 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.

Fall Performance Locations

• BlackBox Theater Performance– (Thursday, December 21st-7:00 pm). It is possible we may have a Wednesday performance as well after rehearsal for the general public. Not all parents will need to get tickets as long as your children are present. More details will come.
• Disney Springs Festival of the Arts Performance– (Friday, December 22nd- Exact time to be announced 6 weeks prior to performance date). This is our first time back at Disney in almost 4 years. We were accepted by audition this past spring. There will be a small performance fee per child with details coming soon. This is required in order to perform per Disney Contract. We will need to know in time how many performers will have a Disney Pass to break down the numbers. There will be discounted performance rate for a 1 day 1 park ticket to one of the four theme parks that can be used 7 days prior or 7 days after our performance date for anyone. I will break down all the details on a separate email and on the registration page.
• Exact details with this event will come early fall as I hear back from the Disney team. A lot of work will be going into this, so please patient. Performers will also need to arrive all together on a bus that we must provide. All depending on our performance time, I will make that decision on whether we charter a bus from Clermont to Disney Springs or get one near Disney to the backstage area we will be assigned to.
• This will be a one-way trip. Parents must be able to bring their children back home by vehicle. Chartering a bus both ways will cost a lot more money. I will be getting bus quotes soon. There may also be an option for chaperones who may already have passes to bring a small group of kids into the park.
• NOTE: Once again, this will be an amazing experience during the holidays for your This is an optional performance for your child. It is just an extra opportunity for this season. However, Disney requires a 20-person minimum for any group performing at Festival of Disney. I will be looking for business donors to bring our cost down, so they can have this amazing experience. We are part of the South Lake Business Chamber of Commerce, so I will be looking into any donations, as well. I do not want a child not able to perform because of cost. The cost should be minimal, but I will not know final numbers until we get bus quotes. We will work together as a family to make sure each of my kids have this opportunity.
