What is a good show choir theme?

Last year, we performed a Gaga medley, so we’re looking to top that with something equally impressive and challenging this year. We haven’t settled on a theme yet, but we’re holding a competition to see who can come up with the best show idea. Our show choir consists of 50 members, singing in S1, S2, A1, A2, T1, T2, Baritone, and Bass sections.

I’m looking for a strong theme to center our performance around, and if you have song suggestions, that would be fantastic! We need six songs to complete our set: an upbeat opener, an absolutely amazing second song, a stunning ballad, one song each for the girls and guys, and a mind-blowing closer. Please share your ideas if you have show choir experience, as we’re aiming to create something truly memorable!

Last year we did two themes: We started out with “Music” with songs like “Don’t Stop the Music”, “Beautiful Music”, “Inside the Music”, and “Dance to the Music” BUT Dance to the music led us into a second Disco theme, which was a medley of “Dance to the Music”, “Boogie Fever”, and “Boogie Oogie Oogie ’til You Can’t Boogie No More”. When everyone did what they were supposed to, the Disco part ALWAYS got the crowd!! Good luck finding a show!!!!
