Family and friends of the Churubusco New Era Show Choir got a chance to watch the group’s first 2008-09 season performance after the choir’s week-long summer camp Friday night.

The camp included middle school students  - who are working hard to become members of the popular musical group when they reach high school - as well as the regular high school members of the choir.

Choir director Dan Hile and students of the choir are gearing up for the new school year and choir season. They will be hosting fundraisers in order to raise money to help send choir members to perform at Disney World in Orlando, Fla. in March. The show choir’s biggest fundraiser is the holiday bazaar the first Saturday in December.

The actual show choir competition season starts at the end of the year with the first invitational scheduled for January.

Our New Era Show Choir correspondent provided these photos of the camp dinner and choir performance. Enjoy! And, don’t forget to check out the video — only at Buscovoice.com.
