I feel like FNL-with-band would be lots of awesome, although I kind of get the feeling casting for it would be hard? Because you'd have to get people who could both act and play instruments. (I mean, I had a lot of those in my high school, but I don't know how common it is.)
I never even heard of show choir until this year, but then again, small town rural high school.
The costume and budget thing in Glee doesn't bother me nearly as much as the fiasco they make of the whole competition process. Also the fact I'm starting to wince every time Sue appears on screen. High school music competitions? Do not work like that. At least for concert band and choir, and it drives me mad that they (the PTB, I mean) take the competition so -- lightly? The way that competitions worked for us, you went up on stage, you played/sang, and then the judges (band directors whose own bands weren't competing, sometimes university professors) would come give you feedback, and then you'd get your rating on a scale from 1 to 5. (It does not speak well for me that I cannot remember whether a 1 or a 5 was preferable. A 1, I think.) And then you'd get the placings, after everyone competed, and the competition in the show is just so -- laughable, almost all the time. Carmel being the exception. *sighs* There would definitely be more than three schools at both regionals and sectionals.
(As we can tell, I was really, really annoyed by this.)
