They say the words as though they should be capitalized: Show Choir. Lots of acrobatic choreography while singing. Film title is the name of the group. Without the rocker, they're mediocre. The faculty advisor is merely in attendance. With the rocker they have confidence and heart. But the rocker is only doing it for the cash prize, which the (unlikeable) student leader of the choir has promised half to him (school kids competing for cash that they actually can spend?) to get his demo recorded. Y'see, his rock band has dissolved, and he's trying to go solo. But he gets emotionally invested in the choir, and when his big rocker break comes, and conflicts with the night of the choir competition, he's torn. Spoiler alert: someone at his rocker audition asks why his heart's not in it, and he takes them to the choir competition, where he's just in time to perform. BTW, the faculty advisor is a former rocker who does a few licks on guitar during the choir performance.
Part of the video distortion is the cropping of beginning and ending of the film. Not sure if we get the choir competition results, or the record exec reaction. Nor do I care.
Once was more than enough.
