Burbank High choir, inspiration for 'Glee,' in financial trouble

A local high school choir that inspired the hit TV series "Glee" is in danger of being shut down.

It's one of the best programs in the state, arguably one of the best programs in the country. But with state funding cuts, the Burbank High School choir program requires lots of outside funding.

They're hoping their annual show will keep the program out of the red. They need $20,000 to $25,000 to keep going.

Starting Thursday night, all five competitive choirs at Burbank High will stage a two-hour extravaganza, hoping to raise enough money to stay afloat.

The performers hope their show will attract big crowds.

The big pop show will be staged at Burbank High's auditorium on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Tickets are $20 to $25
