Glee Club

Glee Club: Show and Showcase

By Pablo Ramirez

The television show Glee, a budding sitcom, has ignited a flame in many students to join the Glee Club at their school. Luckily, Abraham Lincoln High School has its very own Glee Club, started by our choir instructor, Ms. Crabtree. Glee is, mainly, a choir that dances and acts out musical numbers. Glee is a place where anyone can express themselves through song and choreographed dance. The students are hoping to learn how to sing, dance and act in hopes of performing.

“I don’t think I can sing!” complains Ivonne Nieto. If this is your case, don’t fret. Glee is full of students that have different levels of experience. The experience levels range from students that have been in choirs since middle school, to students who have never sung a note in their entire life. Glee is also friendly and kind, so instead of making fun of you, the Glee students will try to help you. We will help you break out of your shell and sing like a bird, sweet and mellow.

Because of the recent phenomenon of the T.V. show, Ericka Saracho has been more interested in joining the Glee Club, but she is worried that she can’t dance. Glee is able to teach her how to dance and sing at the same time. Remember: Practice makes perfect.

I was wondering whether or not we were going to perform any show tunes and maybe act. My worries were diminished when I found out that Glee will perform many show tunes along with other genres of music such as pop, rock, gospel, and more. Acting is also a big portion of Glee; Glee has experienced students to help us learn how to act and move our bodies. Performing for an audience is our main goal.

Still skeptical? Come on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:15 p.m. and see for yourself. You just might like it. Hope to see you there!!!
