My future in show choir

Is show choir worth my time and effort? For many cases, yes, but when you think long and hard about how it affects my life in the future, and it doesn't. I want to spend my time doing something that's going to benefit me and my career. Rather than spending two of my class periods taking a class that's all about singing and dancing, I could take a core class (educational) and get more prepared for college, and so on. Being in show choir helps me gain more social status, improves my singing and dancing skills, and helps me gain a better relationship with directors and peers. Show choir also betters my skills with being in front of an audience. Every competition, depending on where it is, has an audience of about 150-400. There are so many factors that are in play that depend on how good a show choir group is. There's the sharpness of their moves, their tone quality, the way they connect with the audience, intonation, facials, how advanced their choreography is, the over all picture, and many more things. I feel disadvantaged with show choir because at this school, I may not be the best singer or dancer. But at other schools, I could be pretty talented compared to the other kids of my class. I do not feel very confident about myself when peers younger than me are getting the varsity spots over me. This year, I did not make the varsity show choir, unlike almost all of my friends, so I made the prep show choir again. I felt very sad and isolated. Prep show choir isn't that bad, its just that I'd so much rather be in the varsity instead. The positive side to it is that I get to know a lot of the underclassmen, and meet new people. I think that show choir is really fun, but at times I regret getting involved in all of it because there's so much of a time commitment, and I don't want to get caught up in things that I'm not going to benefit from in the future. Honestly, I think I would rather take an academics class. :)
