This year, we hosted the program remotely on Microsoft Teams. 52 student representing 11 schools were registered participants. Over the course of ten weeks students learned a song in sections, practiced at home with asynchronous resources, and learned how to record their voice parts in Soundtrap, an online music application. Then, students performed on video via Teams. The audio and video recordings were mixed and edited together to produce the final video you see here. 

In a year when connection was difficult and isolation was prevalent, this program allowed students to learn and create a musical product together, overcome technical hurdles, and meet the challenge of working independently to contribute to the ensemble. We are proud of the dedication the students showed, and grateful for the support of their amazing teachers. This video is a celebration of our students’ perseverance and determination to accomplish a goal and share their love for singing. They are an inspiration and true stars. Please enjoy the 2021 Honor Chorus rendition of "Shine Like Stars."
