The Impressions is comprised of 26 vocalists/dancers, a nine-piece instrumental ensemble and a four-member crew. The members are active in athletics, cheerleading, FFA and other CRHS activities.

Every member is also involved in the choral and/or band ensembles offered at Cory-Rawson.

The goal of the Impressions is to provide an educational yet entertaining production through their high-energy vocals and flawless choreography.

The Impressions and Stingers have consistently received excellent and superior ratings in competitions throughout the Midwest. In addition to placing high within their respective classes and overall competitions, the group has received awards for Best Vocals, Best Combo, Best Choreography, Best Show Design, and Best Costumes.

The Impressions are under the direction of Matt Taylor and Brian Rodabaugh along with choreography by Brian Rodabaugh.
