Cincinnati Children's Choir

I am apart of the Cincinnati Children's Choir over at Cincinnati's Conservatory of Music. My specific choir is the Young Men's Choir. There are about 10 guys in all in my choir. We have Tenor 1's, Tenor 2's, Baritone's, and Bass's (me). It's pretty cool going through rehearsals, having each group of guys learn their part then having a 4-part harmony song all come together at the concerts.

We had a crazy schedule of concerts in November and December. The last Saturday of November, we had a Christmas concert fundraiser at the Barnes and Noble in Mason. We sang a few songs and then bought some books and drinks at the cafe and a percentage of the money went back to CCC. Then in December, we had three concerts in two weeks, it was pretty hectic. The first weekend of December, we had a concert in CCM's Feast of Carols, a four day long Christmas celebration. It was so awesome! We got to set up in the pit while the first choir sang above us, then when it was our turn, the pit raised up to the stage as we were standing there. We sang our three songs, and then the pit descended back down. It was the coolest thing ever! Then the second weekend of December, we had two concerts on the same day. It was a Saturday, and we had one concert from 11 to 1, and then the same exact concert again from 2 to 4. That was one crazy, tiring day. We were done singing in the first concert by 11:30 and nothing to do until the finale like an hour later. So Girl Choir and Young Men's Choir started playing some fun bonding games, ending in a crazy game of Ninja! It was a fun day.

I love being apart of Young Men's Choir! It's a really fun experience and my director, Mr. McKee is simply amazing! He's singled me out as the team leader this year and I haven't failed to step up each and every concert. If you are a guy and you can sing, please come and join Young Men's Choir in January! You won't regret it! And, if we get 20 guys, we are going to audition to sing the National Anthem at the Cincinnati Reds game! Please help me. Thanks! :)
