Dream BIG with the Executive Directors!

Hello again, Choirmates!

Remember that you are a star! We all are! We are working diligently to learn our repertoire, reserving ample time to refine it as the show draws near. Isn’t this exciting?! To do something we love so we can show it to people we love and who love us! Here’s a quick reminder list from last week suggesting what you can do:

1. “Like” and share every social media post about Houston Show Choir on your own profile.

2. Personally invite your family and friends to come see you in the show.

3. Show off your HSC swag whenever and wherever possible. It’s a conversation starter!

4. Practice on your own, and envision that full house at Hobby Center cheering for us on June 13.

5. Make it easy for your fans to buy tickets by sharing the Hobby Center ticketing page with them.

Thank you for your beautiful part in this choir, for making this show a rousing success, and for furthering our vision of...

Sharing the joy,

Mark & Van
