I was in choir from 7th grade to the end of highschool. For 3 years in highschool I was in Madrigals which is the top choir in the school. We had a lot of responsibility and it was a smaller group. We were really close, we all had a lot of fun & when it came to activities and contests, the wins felt so much more rewarding because the fraction of effort you put in is much greater than if it was just some other choir group. Also because of the level of engagement. Everyone was equally invested, eager and serious about everything we were doing, which made us that much more talented and brought us all closer together. It was more like a family than it was a choir group
