Comments on Today in Outsider Art

I was in Show Choir in high school... The Reflections, from Duncan, OK. We won a national competition with our rousing rendition of "Love Shack."

Thankfully, I've never seen any videos of those days.

Oh god. And here I thought I had escaped that Midwest phenomenon.

I was in a show choir in high school back in good ole Michigan. The experience was...well...very high school. Luckily none of the videos from back then are on YouTube.

It's awful what they're doing to that little purple midget's song.

Perfect to watch when you're down & out, as it may induce nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath and stomach cramps.

My ears say ouch.

I was in competitive marching band at my Indiana high school. Marching band is infinitely cooler.

oi, the lead trumpet...

Is this what they do for fun in the midwest??

Gotta love the bulky quick-change wardrobes.

No, THAT is what makes us human.

I have a new favorite blog.

David, you're killing me.

And yet...i can't stop watching. Seriously, I have to watch the Bon Jovi Medley.

wait, there are some in southern california? I am definitely going to the next competition. ohhh socal, the mecca of gaudiness and poor taste

When do the Drag Queens make their appearance?

Thank you for revealing this new horror.

I love it.

I was such a show choir dork in high school. (the Contemporaires of Danville, IL, thankyouverymuch.) I was surprised to move out here and discover that show choir is truly a Midwestern art form. I wish Auschglitz could get their hands on some vintage footage from Eastern Illinois University's annual show choir camp, wherein dorks from across Illinois converged in the middle of nowhere in a hormonal mess of sequins and hairspray.

It is really diificult to imagine a worse name than Auschglitz. I didn't see any backgroud notes and really wonder about the person who named that blog. It resonates as a "Springtime for Hitler"-type joke but who knows?

I love the name. It suggests glitzy suffering, which is right on point.

That video is the train wreck that keeps on giving.

It just makes me out of breath watching them try to dance and sing like that!

David, I get it, I just want to know more about the jokester. That the joke is actually a bit less tasteless than the perfomances is what I found most surprising.

I played trumpet in High School and College: let me say that trumpet player needs SHOT, drug out in the street and SHOT. Several times....that playing IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY!!!!!

btw Trumpet players are AWESOME with out mouths!!!

@13, they needed drag queens... a lot of them. Or MANY more gay boys, they needed that gay boy touch...

Could they be any whiter? Wow.

Those clear water kids are awesome! I loved it.
