Gabee Thomas held auditions over three days in late May 2011 for students interested in joining the Creekview High School Show Choir for the upcoming fall semester. During auditions, Gabee taught choreography to contestants and evaluated their ability to learn dance moves quickly as well as their singing and blending abilities. Gabee and the project facilitator then observed students performing the choreography and vocals to determine which students should be selected for the show choir group.
