*LOL* tiny_increments was in show choir in high school (not too long ago) and says it's pretty close- aside from the production values of course:
Of course I should mention, the music and performances on Glee is much better quality than we ever had, but that's what makes it a TV show and not a documentary, you know?
I was in choirs and music programs in college but that doesn't seem to hamper my enjoyment of the show, probably because I have moments when, in my head, I choreograph numbers like what they show onscreen. It's fantasy, pure and simple- no show choir, no matter how good, could bust out "Gold Digger" on the first try the way they did back in Ep. 2. But you know how in your head you pick things up like THAT? Total fantasy. :) *lol*
That said, I get how tv shows rarely capture the truth of what they're built on. Every time I watch a celeb or a show host in Japan I twitch. I was reading Food&Wine and the editor, Dana Cowin, was talking about looking for good Japanese food in NYC and I wanted to throw the mag across the room and cry when she said that while eating soba she understood Japanese culture better. NO, DARLING, YOU FUCKING WELL DO NOT GET THAT SORT OF INSIDE KNOWLEDGE FROM SIMPLY EATING THE FOOD IF THE AMBIANCE OF BLOND WOOD AND LAMINATED MENUS ANNOYS YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE IN DOUBT WHEN YOU WALK IN THE DOOR. FAIL.
