What I love about YouthCUE
Reflections on National Honor Choir
“YouthCUE has been an awesome experience because of all the teamwork…it’s united all of us and helped us grow stronger together as well as with our faith in God. Singing all the songs and seeing all the smiles on peoples’ faces…just seeing everybody from different cultures is also an awesome thing YouthCUE has shown me.”
“My favorite thing about YouthCUE is the joy you get when you get to sing at the beautiful churches and for the elderly. YouthCUE (National Honor Choir) gives you the music with high expectations you’ll learn it yourself. I’m a hard worker, but this experience taught me I have to work even harder to be at that level.”
“YouthCUE has taught me a lot of things, especially things that I can use in college, such as the value of teamwork, leadership, and the ability to interact with different people. Blending our sound, listening to one another and balancing out all of the different parts is definitely a teamwork activity.”
