Glee is based on the creator's own experience in his high school show choir. He liked what Burroughs was doing with show choir after seeing videos of their sets. The videos helped sell the show concept for television. The Glee pilot was filmed at Burroughs and the show's choir room is a copy of the Burroughs choir room.
yes i love show choir and i cant stand people who think show choir is like glee or thats why they joined show choir in my opinoin is like a sport you have to be committed
honestly! i’m in show choir right now and the high school i will be going to doesn’t have one anymore and i seriously don’t know what i’m gonna do with my life
Glee's pilot episode was filmed at this high school. Pretty sure they are the inspiration for the show. My son is a student @ John Burroughs HS. I attend every performance of Powerhouse. They are amazing!
For all the people saying the chords sound wrong... it's called dissonance. The chords are supposed to sound wrong. The judges like it better because it's harder to sing.
People who disliked this show clearly have never been in show choir before and dont know how much TIME and ENERGY you have to put into rehearsal. You have to be so DEDICATED and COMMITTED to be in show choir and this show is just phenomenal. :)
I'm not surprised John Burroughs was number one, but i definitely think The Pretender from their 2009 show should have this spot. That entire performance just gives me chills. And you can see the devotion and intensity throughout the whole thing
I work at the 10 time Grammy Award Winning Las Vegas Academy of performing Arts. This is great STUFF! AWESOME! JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN OUR CHOIRS! LIVE MUSIC is Awesome. Hope the band consists of students and not community adults. Great stuff!!!!
Prime example of west coast show choir. Having a director conduct during a song and this minimal of dancing would be taboo out in the Midwest but hot damn these guys can sing.
This is an awesome video ! Does anyone have the FAME competition from 2006 that was in Fort Wayne Indians ? Ive been searching for my strongest suit from Destiny Show Choir from Sanford, Florida.
This is a good choir performance, but nothing extraordinary I personally back when I used to perform Burbank Insync and Burroughs were both top choirs followed by brea olinda masquerade and Los Alimitos as well they were all outstanding choirs with amazing vocals and choreo. They also had story lines you could follow unlike this show
my show choir went to new york in march and competed against this sschool...we got second place they got first only by a few points though....there school has been amazing for several years
Do your best ALL of the time. Even when you're learning choreo or the songs and you're confused. When you get frustrated or tired keep on going full out and don't quit. Doing anything less than your best won't help you or your choir. Just remember to have fun and be healthy! Don't stress too much. Break a leg this season! I wish you the best of luck!
EXAGERATE, when you sing a high note think of "opera voice"!, and SING OUT! I been in Chior since I was three first children's Chior and now I'm in highschool
If you think this is good, check out Hastings Riverside company. The video on youtube is their 1st performance of the year and it's already pretty darn amazing. Seeing them live is unreal. Amazing vocals
Not the best. They're okay. A turn off for me is that their director has to conduct them in the ballad. Coming from a member of a state winning showchoir, you should not have to have your director conduct you. Its just unprofessional in my eyes. Also the choreography was just average. Lots of armography. But overall it was okay
99 % of the money for the season is raised by the kids themselves. The school also has a wonderfully talented alumni that volunteers many hours to make the program happen. anthostube has it correct....they do love what they do and that makes a huge diffference.
Technically, it was an amazing performance. But I didn't feel anything. No goose bumps, no emotional connection. Song choice was a big reason why. Nice job by all involved though.

Show choir is the best thing ever don't know what I would do without it

There's no feeling in this "performance" I feel as though I should be watching a low budgeted Broadway show...
one of burroughs' best sets. this and the circus sets are just so INCREDIBLE.
well thats an overrated title for a video huh
For all the people saying the chords sound wrong... it's called dissonance. The chords are supposed to sound wrong. The judges like it better because it's harder to sing.
I dont think they meant the dissonance, I think they meant the blend wasn't so hot(It wasn't compared to the standard "best show choir ever".

absolutely excellent job! wonderful choreography and just a shout to the videography for good shots!
best show choir performance ever is kinda too over the top lmfao
they're good but chill lol...
I think Burbank In Sync should be considered the best
Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed this! :)
you guys are seriously my idols! this is so so good!
Wow , I think it was beautiful!!! As a primary music teacher from the FNQ I believe they did VERYYYY WELL! Well done their music teachers!!!!!
Well done! But the first soloist should have practiced her solo while on a treadmill.
bet u were on a treadmill when u typed this !
well it's awesome, but there are many choir performances better than this.
I agree.
I also don't get the costumes... They don't fit the song. This is just my opinion.
***** I don't see anything identifying the school...
Fantastic sound. Fantastic colours!
This is Powerhouse from John Burroughs High School in Burbank, CA! :)
Wow! So creative on so many levels! Fun to watch and listen to!
what a great performance such a high vocal range from the main singer this performance was great and choreographed well.
This was just amazing, I loved it :)
I so enjoyed this, thanks for sharing...
Vocally they are amazing, but the set was not meant for show. I prefer Los Alamitos Sound Fx
Me as well
This wasn't Show Choir,this is a musical and a show choir put together.
Good!! It's great. I fall in love with it.
I work at the 10 time Grammy Award Winning Las Vegas Academy of performing Arts. This is great STUFF! AWESOME! JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN OUR CHOIRS! LIVE MUSIC is Awesome. Hope the band consists of students and not community adults. Great stuff!!!!
Great job, I got goosebumps
wow this is amazing!!! the soloist has an AMAZING voice!
The choreography on the last song was very nice. Great vocals guys.
soloist number one you have an AMAZING voice. bravo
So great! Glee could learn from this. So creative.
The memes are real
When you drop ur memes on the floor
"All around me r familiar faces"
Choir is just a big meme
😱😱😱😱😱AMAZING
This is GREAT!
Prime example of west coast show choir. Having a director conduct during a song and this minimal of dancing would be taboo out in the Midwest but hot damn these guys can sing.
Wow!! They're amazing....incredible, ....EPIC!!
It was very well thought out and put together, different
That is a amazing performance.
Without the visuals the singing isn't that really good
There are parts I feel like the blend wasn't so good, but still a nice choir!
+Gina Jeanne Damone I totally agree.
+Esa Azarcon Parker
I think the blend was not ideal for most parts. The song choice is interesting though.
Took the words out of my mouth. Yeah they're wearing expensive costumes but their just standing there...in their expensive costumes.
I really think that's the case with a lot of show choirs lmao

@TheRachelClaire My daughter, Christina James sung Let Me Fall. She is now majoring in music in college.
so beautiful song
I really liked that!
Sure it's not the best thing in the world, however the sound is very good and there is a huge amount of skill involved ... good for them
JUST AWESOME!!!
Great overall group. Vocals, dance, harmony, top notch.!!!!
This is great, but Burbank "In Sync" Prodigal though....
great preformance, absolutly great
THIS IS AMAZING
Thank you.
nice show! and solos! vocals could be stronger but other than that yall are awesome!!
the name of the 2nd song it's "All in the Golden Afternoon" From Alice in Wonderland Movie (the disney version) :)
Where can I find the lyrics of those songs. It is quite hypnotic
this is really a "W-O-W"... this just gave me inspiration to make my choir a better show choir..
Very talented people! You should also check out Loveland by request.
love them!!!!
i'm joining show choir this year in my highschool & it's my first time. i had never heard of it until now, any tips or advice anyone could give me?
I'm currently doing my 2nd year in show choir and the best advice is work hard and have fun
Do your best ALL of the time. Even when you're learning choreo or the songs and you're confused. When you get frustrated or tired keep on going full out and don't quit. Doing anything less than your best won't help you or your choir. Just remember to have fun and be healthy! Don't stress too much. Break a leg this season! I wish you the best of luck!
EXAGERATE, when you sing a high note think of "opera voice"!, and SING OUT! I been in Chior since I was three first children's Chior and now I'm in highschool
good job. well done.
Oh yes they do, hey I love Los Al! I was in an Intermediate group from Eastlake! :)
If you think this is good, check out Hastings Riverside company. The video on youtube is their 1st performance of the year and it's already pretty darn amazing. Seeing them live is unreal. Amazing vocals
I don't particularly like the mash-up but your voices are quite lovely. Very well trained.
When does the choreography start?
The first song is called Mad World by Gary Jules I believe.
Nice!
Well it's awesome
Not the best. They're okay. A turn off for me is that their director has to conduct them in the ballad. Coming from a member of a state winning showchoir, you should not have to have your director conduct you. Its just unprofessional in my eyes. Also the choreography was just average. Lots of armography. But overall it was okay
you're from the midwest... all you guys do is armography. but whatever
Excuse me, What is the name of the second spng? It's wonderful!
what is the title of the song? pls reply i need it for our show choir :( can i get some idea here?
I miss show choir so much. I wish I didn't have to grow up.
good job!
99 % of the money for the season is raised by the kids themselves. The school also has a wonderfully talented alumni that volunteers many hours to make the program happen. anthostube has it correct....they do love what they do and that makes a huge diffference.
What are all of the songs used after "Mad World" ugh I'm getting so frustrated because I can't seem to find them
One of them is Avant Gardener by Courtney Barnett
okkk... exceptional
Does anybody know which comp this video is recorded at?
thankss.
'Is having the director conduct at the front of the stage outlawed or something now? I haven't seen any group do it since Solon 2012
Our group down in Georgia still has a director that does so.
Can anybody tell me which song they sing after Mad World by Gary Jules? I need it for an assignment in school
Best ive ever seen
WOW !
@Usocce Who is the original performer of Let me fall?
@jordanhigh14 it's John Burroughs High School's PowerHouse
what an amazing choir.
great
Their ballad.
For a high school group, they are amazing!!!!
In the So Cal circuit, all directors conduct the a cappella. Just how its always been.
booyaah!!!! verryy great!!!!!!
What is the name and vocal parts for the second song? I REALLY want my choir to do it for the spring concert next year.
Our school didn't even put much of the athletics nor music... You're situation is much better. :D
what is the second song they sing? I sware iv heard it before
Is this high school? Which school and where is it located?
i think this is very well produced... there is some east coast and west coast influence...
More on the different side but I kind of like this. Amazing vocals!
Technically, it was an amazing performance. But I didn't feel anything. No goose bumps, no emotional connection. Song choice was a big reason why. Nice job by all involved though.
Kudos Folks !!!!!!!!!
