THE CHOIRS OF BOULDER CREEK HIGH SCHOOL

Boulder Creek Music Program has been recognized by Phoenix Magazine as a “Stand Out” in

2010. The choral program is the largest music program in the Deer Valley Unified District and

has more than 230 students involved. Boulder Creek is lucky to have seven amazing

award winning choirs that have all been recognized as Superior Choirs.

Broadway Bound is Boulder Creek’s very own mixed show choir. In its fourth year amongst the

BCHS choir program this choir aims to feature students that are triple threats in performance.

This auditioned group requires top notch dancing and singing. Music performed by

this ensemble is selected from the pop and musical theatre repertoire.

Zachary Moore found his love for Show Choir after

performing in several from a young age. He is located

in Charlton Massachusetts and travels throughout

North America as a free lance choreographer. His fast

paced, edgy style of dance has served him well in the

competitive world of Show Choir.

Beyond Show Choir, Zachary has choreographed Mu-

sical Theatre and Dance Troops/Teams in the North-

east. Zachary is delighted to have the opportunity to

work with the amazing talent at Boulder Creek High

School. He would also like to give a special thank you

to his choreography technician Abbie White for her

collaborations in his show design and choreographer

for the Boulder Creek High School Show Choirs. Abbie

is the dance captain of Shepherd Hill High School’s

Premier Mixed Show Choir. In the fall she will be at-

tending Merrimack college, Majoring in Dance.

Susia Ruddell is a freelance show choir chore-

ographer and show designer from Albuquerque, New

Mexico. She is a graduate of the University of New

Mexico where she studied dance, show design, and ado-

lescent development. This spring she will be relocating

to Los Angeles to continue her career in show choir and

further her education in show design. Her refreshing

choreography, keen eye for show design, and strong

teaching ability to shape confident young performers

makes her an asset to the creative team at Boulder

Creek High School. She works all around the south-

west region designing, choreographing, and teaching

performance skills to hundreds of students every year

at various middle schools and high schools. Her pas-

sion to build a community within the performing arts

has made her a leader in building programs across the

region. Susia has led show choirs to win national titles,

awards such as “Best Choreography” and “Best Show

Design”, and created her own dance program, summer

dance camp, and show choir camp. She can be contact-

ed at SusiaRuddellChoreography@gmail.com.
