Sylvia Marin said, I roole rhis class because if I wanr ro go inro music as career, I need ro develop my voice. As rhey wair for class ro begin, Sophs. Melissa Taylor, Melissa Abeyta, and Lysandra Hines warm up rheir voices Choraloires was only one of many choir classes Another change was in orchesrra. Every year many new freshman join rhe class. They broughr new faces, ralenfs, and arfi rudes ro rhe group, rhus helping ro furrher improve rhe class.
