Show Choir from the wings

During a  Show Choir performance the viewpoint of audience member is dazzling, but when the chance to see the action from backstage is given the greatness of  show grows immensely. I  was lucky enough to get that chance during a City Lights dress rehearsal last Wednesday as they prepared for their season premiere on Thursday.  Watching a show from the wings is a greatly different experience then if one were to watch it straightforward, the emotions and energy of  the performers radiate onto those around  to the point where even a bystander is excited about what is going on.

From the wings one can truly experience the full effect that stage lighting has on a performance.
