Former high school scholar Katie Ewing says the repertoire is “refreshing,” and the Chorale “will definitely increase your skills.” Katie went on to sing at Elizabethtown College and went on to say, "A friend at South River High School had been in it before me and my choir director felt it would be a really good fit for me. I did not regret it! I miss Chorale a lot – it’s just not the same in college. In the Chorale I was treated like an equal. It made me very versatile, and very confident in my sightsinging, where before I was hesitant … The Chorale has a group dynamic. It is a family."
Another recent Scholar, Vernie Angco (Prince George’s Community College), reflects:
"My piano instructor introduced me to the program. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my young life… I would strongly suggest young people who have the time, discipline and calling for music to join. Recently my school choir decided to perform Brahms’ 'Ein Deutsches Requiem' – I had done it with the Chorale, so relearning the piece was easy! I grew so much as a musician with this group. It was an honor to sing with the Chorale."
Former Choral Scholar R.J. Sexton adds that “The opportunities are endless to expand all aspects of my singing.”
