Dale: Have you watched the TV show Glee?
Beren: I have. I actually love it.
Dale: You do love it.
Beren: I do, I do. Do you like it?
Dale: I think it’s one of the best TV shows on TV today.
Beren: You seem like a Glee guy. What do you like about it?
Dale: Just, I think that the age gap is right where I’m…I think he’s in his mid-30s, I’m right there.
Beren: Oh, the teacher?
Dale: The teacher. So the music is basically similar to what he’s trying to teach the kids. So I believe that I have some type of relationship with the teacher.
Beren: Were you in glee club or…?
Dale: No, but I do sing. I do sing.
Beren: Really.
Dale: And I was always dreaming to sing in a choir.
Beren: I don’t know, I like it because they do do the pop songs. And they have amazing choreography, too.
Dale: Amazing choreography.
Beren: It’s like what you dream of, of being in high school and like your whole class busting out into song. It’s like a movie, but a TV show.
Dale: In the initial part, when I first watched Glee or even thought about Glee, I thought of like a musical TV show that, you know, everybody would just bust out in song, and I thought it was going to be that corny or cheesy. But then really going into the story of it, and it was really a glee club, it actually captured me. So I’ve been…it’s always recorded, and I’m watching constantly.

Dale loves the TV show Glee. He relates to the character of the teacher, who is around the same age as him. The music that the teacher likes is music that Dale likes as well. Although Dale was never in a glee club, he loves to sing and always wanted to be in a choir.
Beren is also a fan of the show. She thinks the choreography is really good, and she loves that the actors sing pop songs as well as show tunes. When she was in high school, she always wished people would just burst into song like they do on the show.
Do you like to sing? Have you ever been in a choir or glee club?
