Momentum
Momentum is an auditioned competitive show choir that meets from August to mid-March. Auditions for the following year take place in the spring. Momentum competes in about five contests from January to March.
Show Choir Showcase
Show choir, which has been offered at Marian since 2015, combines dancing and singing in a 15-minute performance around a central theme. This year’s theme, “For Such a Time as This” tells the story of Queen Esther. Her courage, wisdom, and faith in God lead to the triumph of her people and the downfall of their enemies.
