WHAT THE ASPEN TIGERS CHOIR HAD TO SAY ABOUT THEIR CHOIR PROGRAM
- People think that choir is no fun at all and I tell them how much I like it.
2. I really like when we all sing together.
3. My favorite song is ‘The Tailor’ and one of the best things about choir is that we always sing in the morning.
4. All the upbeat songs make me feel good.
5 I think my parents will like ‘Rattlin’ Bog’ and ‘The Little Tree’ the best.
6. My mom will like the one about snow but it’s in a different language (Czech).
7. I like the concerts because I think it’s really fun to sing for other people.
8.One thing I like about the concerts is people’s reactions. They don’t know what type of music we’re going to sing. I like their reactions and how they applaud.
9. Being together and singing helps me get rid of my fear.
10. I really like when we work on a song and it really comes together, like when we do two-part songs.
11. The only thing I don’t like is getting up so early!
12. I’m part Irish and I think my mom really loves ‘Rattlin Bog’because I sang it in my mom’s house and she heard it and she played it on her phone and she was dancing.
Congratulations Aspen Togers Choir. What a great concert!!!
