Dear future Choir member,

Hey there, I'm Makayla and I've been apart of our Mixed Chorus since my freshman year and I will be first to tell you that this is one of the best programs I've ever been apart of. Our Choirs work very hard day in and day out, and it takes a lot of dedication, but this is something you will NOT regret. I'm gonna be honest with you, I was terrified when I walked into the choir room the first day of my freshman year but I grew to these people and I have made friendships and bonds that will last a lifetime. But honestly there is nothing to be scared of, The Choir room is a safe, judgemental free place where you can just sing out.

Being in choir brings out so much confidence that you didn't think you had. For example, at our first pop concert I stepped out and rapped for the first time in front of an audience full of people! This is a whole new experience but it's a very great and unforgettable time in your life. Some people give choir a bad reputation, such as it's just for girls but it's really not, the choir relies on the male voice parts. There is also a special perk about choir, in late April, We take an overnight trip to Kansas City and Worlds of Fun! It is so much fun, also a great bonding experience. One last thing, Mr. Grice will be the greatest choir teacher you will ever have. He teaches you how to stand properly and to keep your chest raised and just how to sing in general. He is such a wonderful, honest, funny teacher. You'll love him, he knows when to have fun and when to be serious and how to push you to your full potential. Hopefully you'll give it a shot, I promise you will love it!

Please please please audition! It'll be one of the best things you could do!

With love,

Makayla Strickland
