Wadsworth High School Show Choir’s Holiday Spectacular Tour has finished for the 2025 season. The varsity groups go on a five-day tour to different elementary schools, nursing homes and even host the tour at the high school.
“We have five choirs,” said Liam Muller, a junior in Rhythm and Red. “Two varsity choirs, our mixed, Rhythm and Red, and then our all-girls varsity choir is Royal Sensations. Then we have New Edition, which is our non-varsity audition choir, and … we have one choir for the freshman. It is our audition choir, it is called Encore and … if you just wanted to take show choir without auditioning, then you can [join] Rising Sound.”
The choir is a snippet of the actual Holiday Spectacular Concert, featuring only two choirs. Rhythm in Red starts off the tour on Friday, Dec. 5 and continues to perform up until Friday, Dec. 12, only taking off the weekend and Thursday, Dec. 11, while Royal Sensations finishes the tour on Monday, Dec. 15.
“I love the tour,” said Hayden Eagon-Mohlmaster, a junior in Rhythm in Red. “It is so exciting to see all these new faces, and be able to perform in front of them. It is also relieving because it is great practice with the team, and being able to get used to all of our transitions and getting more comfortable with everybody else, going to eat with them, hanging out with them is an amazing opportunity.”
The tour is about seventeen minutes long and consists of four songs: Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Everything Red and Green, Merry Christmas, Let there be Joy and Favorite one.
“[My favorite song] is probably Merry Christmas,” said Mueller. “I enjoy a lot of the dancing we do, and the vocals are not that hard, which means we get to focus on our energy and mainly just having fun while performing again.”
The nursing homes that the students go to include Village of St. Edwards, Coal Ridge, Heritage Crossing and Magnolia. Other than the elementary schools, the tour also goes to Wadsworth Middle School, Sacred Heart, Wadsworth Intermediate School. Along with performing at the Galaxy.
“I feel like we could do even more stops at different places around town,” said Eagon-Molhmaster. “I know it is such a fun opportunity to be able to do this.”
