What Current Choir Members Say

How welcoming everyone is, and how great friends are made. -- sophomore woman

The people, how challenging/fun the songs are. -- senior man
I really like being with people who share my interests. I also really like being able to sing everyday and be recognized as a good singer. -- 9th grade woman
I love the diversity of people involved. I love that some people in choir are performing in operas and honor choirs on the side while others are juggling three sports but still just love to sing. -- senior woman
I just like singing so... it's fun. Since I'm in Pop Singers and Select Treble Choir it's fun to sing a wide range of music. -- 9th grade woman
I get to sing as loud as I want and nobody really cares. I am able to stretch my vocal limits as well as my comfort zone. -- senior man

The atmosphere is like no other. You feel support and kindness throughout the room and everyone is very friendly. -- junior man
I like all the new people you meet and no one will judge you on your ability to sing. -- senior woman
