B
I
guess
what
chorus
has
meant
to
me?
Is
it's
just
a
place
where
I
can
like
be
myself
and
be
with
the
people
who
have
the
same
passion
as
me
and
who
enjoy
the
same
things
as
me
and
I
think
what
I
love
about
chorus
is
I
have
some
of
my
best
friends
in
this
class,
and
it
just
has
been
a
place
where
I
can
just
like,
enjoy
myself
and
be
happy
and
not
have
the
stress
of
all
my
other
classes.
C
So
I
love
a
lot
of
things
about
chorus,
but
I
think
like
Ali
was
saying:
I
really
love
the
sense
of
like
community
and
I.
Think
it's
really
cool.
How
like
students
in
different
grades
can
just
get
like
have
such
a
close
connection
like
when
making
like
art-
and
it's
just
so
like
incredibly
like
rewarding,
to
see
everyone
here
and
just
like
singing
together
and
all
the
hard
work
that
everyone
has
put
into
this.
That's
now
paying
off
so
yeah.
A
I've
met
some
of
like
my
best
friends
in
this
class
and
I
really
couldn't
thank
choir
enough
for
that
and
I
feel
like
I,
wouldn't
have
made
friends,
especially
in
other
grades,
if
it
wasn't
for
choir
and
theater.
Also
so
I
really
recommend
joining
and
you
might
become
friends
with
the
senior
which
is
pretty
cool
or
a
freshman,
which
is
also
cool.
Okay,.
D
I,
don't
think,
there's
anything
that
I
could
be
doing.
That
would
be
more
fun
than
being
a
part
of
choir
being
a
part
of
any
of
the
Little
ensembles
that
we
have
being
a
part
of
our
theater
programs
like
it's
brought
me
so
much
joy
and
every
day,
like
I'll,
be
taking
I'll,
be
driving
people
home
by
car
just
talking
about
the
amount
of
fun
I'm
having
at
these
things
and
I
honestly,
going
into
college
soon.
D
I
hope
that
wherever
I
go
undecided
as
of
now
I
hope,
I
do
something
with
music
or
with
theater,
because
it's
one
it's
one
of
the
greatest
things
that
I
think
I've
ever
taken
up.
It's
I'm
so
happy
that,
like
my
family,
like
told
me
to
do
choir
and
theater,
because
it's
brought
me
amazing
memories
and
been
some
of
the
greatest
parts
of
my
life.
Thank
you.
E
Something
I
really
enjoy
about
the
high
school
part
is
the
fact
that
we're
constantly
building
our
skills
and
increasingly
getting
better
and
I
feel
like
it's
something
more
like
being
in
the
High
School
choir
is
so
much
more
different
than
being
in
the
middle
school
or
the
elementary
school,
because
there's
so
much
more
behind
it.
There's
like
Sharps
and
class
and
different
things
like
that,
especially
being
in
jazz
choir
with
like
Advanced
sorts
of
singing.
F
G
I
think
I'd
be
a
totally
different
person
if
I
was,
if
I
didn't
find
my
friends
through
choir
and
theater,
so
I'm
just
forever
grateful
for
that.
Thank
you.
H
So
inquire,
of
course,
to
make
friends
and
if
you
like,
to
sing
that's
a
good
place
for
you,
but
we
also
do
a
lot
of
fun
stuff
this
year,
we're
going
on
a
trip
to
Six
Flags
the
end
of
the
year
yeah
and
that's
a
tradition,
that's
a
tradition
that
we
used
to
do
but
we're
bringing
it
back.
We're
gonna
go
to
some
cooler
places.
H
Hopefully,
in
the
future
we
do
Cabaret,
where
we
get
to
sing
pop
songs,
which,
like
I,
know
you
sing
pop
songs
now,
but
that's
completely
student-led
and
you
can
choose
like
if
you
have
like
a
favorite
artist
like
you,
can
sing
a
solo
for
them.
We
also
during
the
Spring
Concert
have
been
singing
like
medleys
from
our
favorite
shows.
H
Last
year
we
did
Sweeney
Todd
this
year,
we're
doing
Les
Mis,
so
choir,
of
course,
is
about
friends
and
about
music,
but
it's
also
about
like
experiencing
what
you
want
to
get
out
of
it
in
like
fun
and
out
of
school
ways.
So
yeah.
I
J
K
K
It's
just
such
like
a
special
experience
and
then,
of
course,
like
I
may,
like
pretty
much
all
of
my
friends
in
school
I
made
in
choir,
and
everyone
else
has
had
this
I'm
going
to
say
it
again
like
for
the
eighth
graders
when
you
go
to
high
school
you're,
going
to
want
to
stay
like
with
your
group
of
friends
like
meet
new
people.
People
in
all
grades,
like
everyone
like
everyone,
is
something
interesting
to
say,
and
everyone
has
something
about
them,
and
if
you
don't
reach
out
to
people,
you're,
you're,
never
gonna,
know
and
I.
