I hope you all had a wonderful summer and found time to re-energize for this school year. I am super excited for another great year with the NM Choir family! So, what are you most excited about this year (doesn't have to be related to choir)? And, why did you decide to include choir in your life?

I had a great summer! I felt like it went by too fast like always. I am most excited this year for varsity golf and soccer because I am a junior now which is a upper classmen! Being a upper classmen means you have to be a role model to the grades below you! I am also excited to be in a class with my sister Abby who is a freshmen this year! It's going to be a great year with her and the rest of the choir! I decided to keep choir in my life because it's the one class a day that makes me laugh, smile and have a good time! Even on the days when I'm having a hard time, choir and music help make it better😊

To be honest, I'm most excited for naps during my virtual 5th hour this year. I chose to include choir in my life this year because of how much I've grew to love the class over the past five years. I hope to grow and be able to help others this year in choir!

I had a great summer this year by visiting the MSU campus with family I don't see often and driving my family's boat in Lake Michigan with good friends. This year I am most looking forward to learning the songs and choreography for this year's Pops concerts. The rehearsals are more fun than the performance if you ask me. I joined choir when I was in 6th grade because I heard how amazing and supportive choir is...And I really liked singing. Today, those are the reasons why I am still in choir, and the reasons why I will join the next three years I am here at NMPS.

I am so happy to be in choir again this year! I am excited about so many things for this year. I am excited about my first virtual class this year. Im taking criminology, so that will be really fun. I am excited to see all my friends that I haven't seen since school got out. I am excited about the chrome books. I must say they are pretty awesome. I am super excited for this year's Pops concert at the fraulenthal. I think that it will really get a lot more people to be able to see pops because there is more seating. I pretty much just excited to be in school in general, except maybe the homework. I decieded to include choir in my life because I enjoyed it so much last year. Some of the choreographing was difficult at first, but after I got it down it was really fun to dance around and have fun.

This year, I am most excited to say that I'm finally a "high-schooler". Even though I'm back at the bottom as a freshman, this year is when we finally get to be a part of all of the fun things about school that I have watched happen forever. Homecoming and snowcoming, high school choir, student council, and high school sports are just some of the things I can finally say "Oh yeah, I do that" to. I chose to keep choir in my life this year because honestly I couldn't imagine my life without it. It is one of the things I look forward to in my day, and such a major part of my life. Also, this is the year I'm finally in high-school choir with a lot of the people I have looked up to my whole life in choir. I plan to learn from these people and become someone that a younger me would have looked up to. I'm beyond excited for this year and everything that comes with it. Thank you so much!

I'm especially excited for three things happening this year. The first is being in publications! I've always had an interest in what goes into creating the yearbook, and so being in the class is a new creative adventure that I can't wait to experience. The second is the Interact Club in general. Interact is one of my favorite things to be apart of, and I love service. I'm looking forward to all of the projects we have planned and working with all the members of the club. Thirdly, I'm just excited to turn 16 next month. I still won't be able to drive, but at least I can say I'm not 15 anymore. Plus, I'm one year closer to being the dancing queen.

What I am most excited for this year is all the new classes and teachers I didn't have last year and getting work with different people. I decided to include choir in my life because I really like to sing ever since I was little I sang for my grandma all the time. When I found out about choir in 6th grade I tried it out. I really liked it and decided to stick with it. This is my fourth year in choir and I am really excited to be working with a bigger choir, I am looking forward to a great year with great people.

I'm super excited about this year! I'm the most excited about graduating and starting my adult life. I have decided musical theatre will be my career choice, so choir is obviously important for preparing me for reading music, having a good ear, holding my part, being a leader, being able to work together with a giant group of people. So much goes into our performances, and learning more about that is one of my goals this year. It's gonna be good. :)

Honestly I came into my freshman year nervous and unsure of how everything would go, with choir as the only exception. Choir has easily been the happiest and most lively hour of the day,every year for me. And i knew coming in that making the jump from MS to HS choir would be a big deal, but it would be a great deal, indeed. As we always say, choir is like a family. We are loving, caring, supportive and encouraging to one another... and that is something I look forward and up to every day. Those are some of the reasons I signed up for HS choir. This year I am really looking forward to creating new friendships, and expanding my comfort zone. What that looks like for me is having the confidence to raise my hand in class when I know the answer, and volunteering in class activities. I am really looking forward to my first year of HS, and i know that choir will make it all the better.

I am excited this year about high school. I'm also excited about meeting new teachers and students. I included choir in my life because I can't imagine the school year without it. Thinking about all the fun with great people at the concerts is so much fun. It is something not everyone has the opportunity to enjoy and I'm happy to be apart of it!

I'm most excited about the entire year in choir, especially Pops. It's definitely my favorite time of the year, although I like everything else too. I was actually so set on not doing choir this year because of some things last year, but after 3 months of going back and forth during the summer, I finally decided that I couldn't really live without it. I thought about how much I loved pops, and with being a senior I knew I didn't want to miss out. I'm really glad I decided to do choir and be part of the family again because I missed it a lot. I'm so excited for the final chapter in high school and can't wait to see what's going to come throughout the rest of the year!

I am really excited to finally be in High School choir this year! I can already tell that it is going to be a great year filled with many wonderful achievements and unforgettable memories. Even though some of the solfege or music might be a little harder than how it was in Middle School choir, I like the challenge and learning more everyday. I am looking forward to Pops and Festival as well. I am already confident that if we all work together, as a team, that we will do very well in both of these essential activities. When we were practicing and you were working with the guys section, they sang one of their parts and it was so strong and powerful! It through me off guard! I love having a strong and potent guy section because it makes the songs more compact and full. I have already felt some of those moments where I went "wow that was good" during Amani because we all worked together as a choir and it truly sounded amazing. I am looking forward to experiencing more of these moments with the choir family. Even though summer went by pretty fast, I am very pleased that I get to start off the day right with choir because it puts me in a happy mood which allows me to have a better day during the rest of the day. This year is going to be a great year and I am so thrilled that I can finally say that I am apart of something as great as High School Choir! I am looking forward to making memories with the choir and working together as a family.

This year I am most excited to sing with the high school choir. I am so excited to be surrounded my so many more great people that all share something in common. To be honest I didn't know if I was going to do choir because I was worried about being in a bigger class, that seems to have more knowledge than I do, but I thought I would give it another try, and I found out that there is really nothing that different about the people in my class and we are all here to have fun and enjoy ourselves.

I am terribly excited this year because not only is it senior year but I'm finally building up the courage to join things and try. I'm excited for the school play, drama, church choir, and other things. The fact that I can finally start pursuing dreams after high school is really cool too to make those a reality. I decided this year to finally join choir and church choir and make it a part of my life. Singing has always been so expressive and important to me. The smiles I see after singing or giving away art make me especially happy in life. I'd love to improve my voice this year and pursue singing in broadway/choir in college. I also have just always seen how wonderful the choir family is and I wanted to be a part of that. I could honestly post a essay here but i'll stop for now. :)

My summer was pretty good. I would have to say that I am most excited about the whole school year and I'm hoping to see how much I've improved since last year. I joined choir again because I honestly don't know what I would do without choir. I love to sing sooo much, if I'm not laughing then I'm singing or humming. Music is my life, it is a stress reliever. I feel like I wouldn't be the same person if it weren't for it. But I also love to perform for people and bring joy to them. When we perform everyone comes together as one big family and it's really nice. And I love our choir family! We have a bond that is unexplainable and unreplaceable.

It's my seventh year in choir and I wasn't going to end what I've been part of for the past 7 years. This will be one of the best and I can't wait to see how pops will go over at the Frauenthal.

What I am most excited about this year is getting to make new friends and have new experiences in a new place. I'm happy to be in North Muskegon for my senior year and so far feel very much welcomed by everyone. The reason I chose to be in choir this year is because I've been involved in either choirs, voice lessons, or other music related activities for my whole life. Maybe you wouldn't have guessed that by my lack of knowledge in the solfege department but it's the truth. In fact, my family chose North Muskegon over other places to move partly because I really wanted to be in a choir and other areas had no choir program. I was adamantly against going to a school that had no choir program.

It's like it all went by so fast but at the same time not fast enough haha but there's still so much to do and I'm excited for it all. I chose to keep choir in my schedule this year because it's my SENIOR year it wouldn't be right if I didn't end my last year of high school being part of choir and creating all the great memories I make every year it just wouldn't seem right graduating without that one last feeling of doing pops one last time and singing with the choir one last time at graduation in my cap in gown I'd feel like something's missing

I am most excited to be a Senior this year! It is a bitter-sweet moment and I glad that I will get to experience it with the choir family. Coming out of last year I was not sure if I was going to be doing Choir. One day in summer, Megan and I were driving in the car on the way back to her house when one of our old choir songs came on the radio. I turned to Megan and I said, "I have to do Choir." Choir has been such a big part of my life for the past 6 years and i could not imagine having my last year without it.

Being in this choir has given me multiple trips, more friends, and a great teacher. I feel as though lots of the time we do not get a long (mostly because I talk a lot), but I just could not leave this family behind, for my last year. I am very excited for POPS also.
