How To Start A Show Choir(aka Glee Club) At My High School?

(Sorry for this being so long, but you can defintily skip a lot and still get the gist of it)
So there been rumors for the past few years of my high school having a show choir, but none has actually accomplished making one. We used to have one, but the sponsper now is know too busy with her kids and other things to do one. So I figured I’ll be the girl to actually get it done instead of relying on other people who say there trying to make one.
So I was wondering what is the best way to find a sponsper. I was thinking of going to teachers I know first, but I feel like a lot of them are already busy. One teacher I was emailing over the summer about the possiblity of them sponspering said it might be a good idea to put flyers in teachers mailboxes at school.
IRight here I’m copying his questions and my answers, to see if this is a good way to persuade someone:
What is a glee choir? A glee choir is just a popular known name for a show choir, which is a choir that combines both singing and dance.
What is its purpose at (instert name here) High School:
Bowie high school is filled with creative/musical inclined people and the choirs at (my high school name) are more traditional. Where it is a class and is done for as a grade. For that reason students don’t have a say o n what songs they perform or cheographer(if there happens to be any). A showchoir being a mixture of dance and singing(and in also in this case being a ‘club) students would have a say on what they do and be allowed to express themseleves more freely.
How often would it meet?
I was thinking once a week and if that’s not possible once every other week.
How many members?
I am thinking around 15 to 30 people.
Is there a nationwide organization that would be affiliated with our chapter/ Would we perform?
There are showchoir competitions I am currentely looking into that are currentely spread throughout the usa. The most popular I’ve seen so far are in Tennesse and Chicago. Which we defintely have to fundraise for but I think it is possible to raise enough money, with a good suppoet system. Which I have a feeling we would have if bowie had a show choir again.
I also know there are certain school events we could perform at, such as pops. Or have our own performances. And possible do a flash mob.
Also other things nesscarry to start a show choir also would help.
