Anyone who watched the choristers play in a park at sunset with Windsor Castle in the background would have thought they were thirty ordinary kids. However, these young people are anything but ordinary. It is amazing as a chaperone and parent to watch the discipline and dedication these choristers have to their mission of sharing God’s word through music. Traveling with any group is always challenging - but traveling with this group was a gift. They are an extraordinary talented group of young women and men who genuinely enjoy being members of Christ Church Cathedral choir. No complaint was heard about rehearsal time for they know they are rewarded with the beautiful music they make as the sound rings through York Minster. Visitors to the Minster were greeted with the amazing music as well as moved by experiencing this music. As a chaperone, I was so proud of this choir and quite in awe of their music. I also was so happy to get to know these young people better. They worked hard together but they also really enjoyed being together as friends. You see lots of smiling faces on this tour in the pictures taken because there were a lot of smiles on this trip. We as a church should be very proud of the services they sang in England as well as how well they represented us. These young choristers, along with the men of the choir, are truly ambassadors of our church and we are blessed to enjoy their amazing talent each Sunday.
