I've wanted to build a sonic evoker for a while now, but it has always been nigh impossible to swap elemental types to sonic. With the release of the new Distant Realms Campaign Setting there is a teamwork feat available that allows an ally to change your elemental damage dealing spells to sonic sonic damage with a DC 10 perform (sing) check. The obvious build for this is a valet archetyped familiar who tries to sing with you and aid you're casting by changing damage subtypes. Here is the link to the feat description:

My question is whether I can add Concussive Spell as metamagic (i.e., prepare a concussive fireball with it, or use an arcane bloodline sorcerer to spontaneously add it) because it says the damage is sonic. It doesn't explicitly say the spell descriptor changes to [sonic] so I was unsure if this would work RAW or whether changing the damage in that way is synonymous with changing the descriptor.

Choral Support doesn't change or add to the descriptor of the spell; it only changes the type of the damage dealt, and then only if the Perform (sing) check succeeds. A fireball remains a [fire] spell and does not become a [sonic] spell. Thus, it wouldn't work with Choral Support, but would continue to work with things like the pyromaniac gnome racial trait or the solar bloodline arcana despite doing sonic damage.
