Why You Joined WPCS

I joined because I had a void in my life at the time and that void was singing in a good choir. It was a necessity for me to sing with a group like this.

When and How You Became Involved in Music

I took piano as a young child for a year but I discovered I could sing in sixth grade. I sang “Colors of the Wind” from the movie Pocahontas and my mom thought she was hearing the radio, not her daughter singing in the shower. I’ve been singing in choirs ever since.

Favorite Song to Sing in the Shower
