Choir Buddies
We’re very excited to announce our continuation of the choir buddy system! Any choir member can apply to be a “buddy”, or a friend to someone in a different grade. Freshman and sophomores will be Littles, paired with a Big (juniors and seniors) who can hang out at different choir events. The goal of this system is to make sure everyone in the choir program feels supported and to get to know people in different grades! The signup is linked below!
