    Chanteurs Empty Chanteurs

    Post  katherinebay Wed Oct 07, 2009 7:58 pm

    Chanteurs was asked to participate in a few segments of Fox's hit show "Glee," but Mr. Rolland Maxson, the choral department's director, politely turned them down, reasoning that "the show is nothing like showchoir. If anything, [they] work 10 times harder and don't always have solo singers. [They] focus on the blend of all voices and it's Arcadia Chanteur's blend and sound quality that makes [them] one of the elite showchoirs in Southern California," according to vice president senior Tiffany Soga. Although Chanteur’s first competition won’t be coming up anytime soon doesn’t mean that the singing and dancing troupe is resting their feet and relaxing. The holidays are on their way and they are preparing for the upcoming performances and assemblies with excitement in their hands.

    During the winter, Chanteurs works on different Christmas pop songs such as "Happy Holidays", "The Old Man's Back in Town", "Bring Them Home", and "Now and Forever Christmas" and performs countless shows around the entire community, ranging from retirement homes to convalescent hospitals. As Chanteurs performs their Christmas show, they silently gear up towards the upcoming competition season, as they begin choreographing the next show. The first competition of the season is the Aztec Sing, hosted in Citrus College in December. The Aztec Sing is a competition in which the nearing choirs, such as schools from Burbank, Serano, and Diamond Bar, send their best singers to perform and compete.

    Chanteurs' first competition isn't until February but start rehearsals during winter break in order to prepare. They're so passionate about singing and dancing that they sacrifice their family vacation time for hard work. Luckily, their three hour choreography rehearsals are so full of laughter and energy that they don't really mind it. This group competes against schools with over $25,000 put into their show, some of which have fireworks, fog systems, 50 costume changes, and over 40 kids. Arcadia's Chanteurs has 2 costume changes, at the most, and black wooden boxes with 32 kids, yet still manage to place in the top 5 out of all the other schools in Southern California. Singing well is their main focus point, and they believe that fancy gizmos and gadgets don't help prove their true meaning of performing.

    Their annual tour will be in San Francisco and is five days long. Previous years, they visited places such as Solvang and Pismal Beach and many are really looking forward to it. The tour is always the highlight of their year because it creates even more bonding other than the average 15 hours they spend together in a regular week.

    Considering that Chanteurs is entirely self-funded, they have many unique fundraisers, including their famous cheesecake sales and Spookbusters. Their cheesecake sales consist of a variety of cheesecakes for purchase, as well as other delicacies. Chanteurs member sophomore Emily Liu said, "The food is really good and at a good price, so everyone should buy some." Buying a Spookbusters ticket is like buying Halloween insurance. For $5, they give you a flier with a phone number on it and come Halloween night, if any house gets egged, t.p-ed, etc., the number on the flier connects to them and they will come and clean all of the mess created.

    Hi! sorry, I'm not the copy-editor, but I'm in New Spirit, and I just wanted to correct some stuff (Mr. Maxson will hold me responsible for any misinformation lol).

    -Tiffany Soga is the vice president. Her quote implies that Glee club works harder, but it's reality (actual show choirs like Chanteurs) that has to work harder-- you may want to make sure that that's clarified. There's no way that any show choir could accomplish what the Glee club does in that short amount of time, with that sort of blend. It takes a LOT of time.
    -The Aztec Competition is not held in December. And it's not really the "best singers"-- it's the show choirs. Right now it sounds like individuals perform, instead of a unit from each school.
    -Chanteurs doesn't practice during winter break? All the show choir members have vacations; Chanteurs is only required to meet once or twice for sectionals, which usually happens at the beginning or end of winter break. The only real practice is the Saturday before school starts up again.
    -the 50 costume changes is an exaggeration. Brea Olinda, the craziest of them all, has less than ten. Chanteurs may have more costume changes this year though, the president is considering having more than two.

According to vice president senior Tiffany Soga, "the show, [Glee], is nothing like show choir. If anything, [Chanteurs] works ten times harder and doesn't always have solo singers. They focus on the blend of all voices and it's the blend and sound quality that makes them one of the elite show choirs in Southern California." In other words, the Glee club in the hit TV show, Glee, may work hard, but it's real show choirs, like Chanteurs, that have to work harder, considering the fact that they simply have no time to spare.

    During the winter, Chanteurs works on different Christmas pop songs such as "Happy Holidays," "The Old Man's Back in Town," "Bring Them Home," and "Now and Forever Christmas." The group performs countless shows around the entire community, ranging from retirement homes to convalescent hospitals. Later this year, Chantuer's annual tour will take place in San Francisco and will last five days long.

    Chanteurs is so passionate about singing and dancing that they practice with such intensity, to the point where they live and breathe performing. This group competes against schools that put over $25,000 into their shows; but, despite the drastic changes in performance setup, Chanteurs still manages to reel in awards and trophies, easily placing in the top five out of all the other schools in Southern California. Singing quality is always their main focus, and they believe that fancy gizmos and gadgets don't help prove the true meaning of performing.

    Considering that Chanteurs is entirely self-funded, they have many unique fundraisers, including their famous cheesecake sales and Spookbusters. When asked about the cheesecake sales, Chanteurs member sophomore Emily Liu said, "The food is really good and at a good price, so everyone should buy some." For $5, they give you a flier with a phone number on it and come Halloween night, if your house gets egged, toilet-papered, etc., the number on the flier connects to them and they will come and clean your mess.

    All the members of Chanteurs is looking forward to another wonderful year filled with joy and success. As of now, their main goal is to bring joy and smiles to everyone this holiday season. Until then, they continue to sing and dance to their hearts’ content. Junior Annie Huang said, “We hope to become closer as a group and work together and live up to the title Chanteurs [has] always had.”
