Sung by:	Rachel Berry
Place:	2009 Western Ohio Sectional Championship
Episode:	Sectionals and Choke

Don't Rain on My Parade from Funny Girl is featured in Sectionals, the thirteenth episode of Season One. It is sung by Rachel Berry and was originally performed by her idol, Barbra Streisand.

It is the necessary ballad that New Directions chooses to sing at Sectionals, after Jane Addams Academy steals their previous ballad. Rachel has been working on performing this song since she was four, though in Choke she says she has been singing it since she was two, which could have been her exaggerating. In the latter episode, it is performed again as her audition song to get into NYADA, the university Rachel applied for, back in I Kissed a Girl alongside with Kurt. During her audition, everything went wrong, as Rachel forgot the lyrics twice, and thus, failed the audition.

The instrumental version of the song can be briefly heard in the opening scenes of Hell-O.

Lea Michele also sang this song at the Glee Live tour, although it was cut from the setlist after May 28, a week after the tour began, as Lea found the song too difficult to perform each night. The song was also included in Glee: The 3D Concert Movie and the Soundtrack of the movie.
