JOIN CHOIR!

We asked our choir students:  "If you were talking to an 8th grader who doesn't think they can sing in choir AND do another activity, what would you tell them about our program?"

​

Here are some answers!

Megan Turner: "Making the decision to continue choir in high school was one of the best decisions of my life. Throughout all the obstacles and hard times in my life, choir is always a place where I feel surrounded with love, comfort, and peace. High school can become very challenging and makes you question your self worth at times, but while in choir, it makes all those feelings go away. It is totally possible to do choir while doing other things you're passionate about as well. My freshman year I was in volleyball, fellowship christian athletes club, and choir. This year I was involved in our musical, I am in leo club, fellowship christian athletes, dance club, and taking two choir classes! You got this!"

Jocelyn Cortez: "It's always possible to find ways to fit in all of the electives you want. There is always a way to make choir fit into your schedule, even if you have a million other hobbies."

Sofia Dean: "When it comes to several activities in school, the coaches and directors are willing to talk so you wont be at fault for missing either activity. the pressure to balance sports and extracurriculars wont be just on you. There's several people to help along the way and I can confidently say that doing sports and choir at the same time was definitely worth it."

Henry Walker: "While choir is an amazing opportunity to be super involved in something amazing, it also presents a unique opportunity no other club on campus can: enrolled in a choir class, you can come in one period a day and sacrifice minimal time outside of school to be a part of something magical and life-changing. Wylie East Choir is open to anyone and everyone, even if all you can spare is a class period. We want you." 

Fin Woolery: "Choir does not require very much time outside of class unless one is willing to go above and beyond- very rarely does an event for choir conflict with another organization."

Miriam Stone: "False. Choir makes it so easy to be involved in a variety of other activities, they help make a schedule that will work for you. If Choir is not your #1 priority that is okay! It doesn't have to be, but if you enjoy singing then sing with us because it is 100% possible. Highschool takes much balance and time management, believe me I know, but I have never been afraid to ask the Dames about a scheduling conflict or a flexible schedule. "

Lola Kinsey: "Choir is such a warm and inviting community for anyone who wants to join. The teachers are incredibly supportive and they'll go above and beyond to help you succeed in anything you set your mind to. They'll guide you along your journey and provide all the resources you need. Plus, the choir members are so friendly and welcoming! It's like being part of a big musical family. You'll feel right at home! "

Olivia Green: "You’re totally able to do so! Being involved in high school is all about time management. As long as you maintain your grades and clubs you should be perfectly fine! P.S service looks good on college applications :)"

Levi Young: "I would say that they can still sing and be a part of a choir because choir is actually one of the least time-consuming classes with some of the best experiences that you can get."

Damian Lopez: "you can never know unless you try trust me you will love it and never wanna leave"
