Get ready to totally rock out with Pride Chorus Houston at True Colors with emcees Jay Michaels and Dessie Love Blake.

True Colors is all about celebrating who you are! You’ll be grooving to classic 80s jams—from synth-pop hits to soul-stirring ballads—reimagined with the chorus’s totally awesome arrangements. Think big hair, shoulder pads, and a whole lot of pride as we crank up the volume and hit you with all the tubular vibes of the era.
Expect a performance packed with high-octane energy, flashy costumes, and dazzling choreo that will make you feel like you’re at the ultimate 80s dance party. It’s going to be a totally epic night as we blend the best of 80s music with the colorful spirit of Pride, celebrating our community in the most radical way possible.
So throw on your acid wash jeans and pump up those Reeboks and join us for True Colors—where the music is righteous, the energy is high, and the pride is absolutely legendary!
