It’s honestly been a really great experience. I loved singing with the choir. The competition has a very professional aspect to it, and it’s good training for someone who wants to pursue music as a professional. It’s also really inspiring to be the soloist for the choir and I like hearing the choir, they are fantastic, and I’m so grateful that I won this competition!
