In sync with its mission of connecting show choir performers, parents, professionals, fans and other enthusiasts across the world, HomeRoom Show Choir is in search of passionate and enthusiastic individuals to join the collective's efforts.
The 2025 season was a great one for HomeRoom. The site covered more regions than ever before, returned its signature columns, podcasts, and rankings, and expanded its presence both at competitions nationwide and across several social media platforms. HRSC is looking to take it one step further for the future and fill in the missing puzzle pieces to assemble a team of creators representing every major show choir region in the United States.
Interest forms will be open from June 26 to July 10. If you're even thinking about joining the team, do it now! Filling out the interest form does not obligate you to anything else.
