The half-hour mini-musical's topic was sports, with seven songs with sports themes: "Get in the Game," "Havin' a Ball," "Bowling Down Memory Lanes," "You Gotta Use Your Head," "At the Country Club with Tiger Woods," "Catchin' Some Air," and "I'm a Champion."

Matthew Anderson, along with his caddy Dan Christenson, tried to get a group of kids, including Austin Mackedanz, interested in golf.

The 28 choir members began practicing in mid-December and continued through March.
