Tenor 1, I’ve sung it my whole life and I’ve met some of my best friends from it.

• What PMEA music festivals have you attended, and which did you enjoy the most?

I’ve been to two honors choir festivals, two districts, one regional, one states, and nationals.

• What are your favorite songs you have sung in choir?

My favorite from regular high school choir is Ashokan Farewell, The Road Not Taken, and January Hymn. At festivals, I would say, Jenny, We Can Mend The Sky, Domine Fili, Music Down in My Soul, Wangol, and A Mighty Fortress is Our God.

I have too many songs I like to list but my favorite genres right now are rock, jazz, and classical.
