Makenna- Grade 5:

Hello, my name is Makenna Olds.  I am 10 years old and in 5th grade. I have been attending Caravel Academy since the age of 3 and I love my school!  I have always loved music and have had amazing experiences, while at Caravel, to sing and perform.  I was a member of the Little
Bucs Choir in both 3rd and 4th grade.  I am currently a member of the 5th/6th grade chorus, and I was invited to join Glee Club this year! I have also participated in two additional Honor Choirs over the last year!  Outside of school hours, I receive private voice and piano lessons.  I am very excited to perform as a member of the ACDA Honor Choir in Rochester, New York.  I am most excited to meet a new director, learn new voice skills that will make this choir great, and to share my experience with my classmates when I return home.  I feel very lucky to be a part of such an incredible experience!  Finally, I am very grateful to my music teachers for their support and help.

I was very excited to be accepted into this amazing musical experience. I have been in many musical related activities such as the Glee Club, Little Bucs, Aladdin, The Lion King, Footloose, and Schoolhouse Rock. After school I do voice lessons and dance. Most of my life is based around music and it means so much to me I hope this experience is just as thrilling as it sounds.

Ashton- Grade 9:

My name is Ashton Hill, I'm in 9th grade. I am part of Caravel's Elite Ensemble which is a great opportunity. I like to sing because it relieves me and takes the stress away from life. I have been doing chorus since I was young and have had some solo's along the way. I really started to like singing when I was in 6th grade with my chorus teacher, Mr. Bell at P.S. Dupont. He taught me many things and it gave me interest toward singing. I had a blast in 7th and 8th grade chorus at Caravel with Mrs. Busovsky and she handed me off to Mrs. Anderson for me to keep singing throughout high school and maybe further on. I am extremely excited to be a part of this National Honor Choir and I am extremely grateful to be selected to be a part of this program. I am looking forward to singing in Rochester NY and can't wait for a great experience. 

Katie- Grade 10:

Hi, I'm Katie Doyle and I'm in 10th grade. Caravel allows me to have many opportunities with Elite Ensemble, Women's Ensemble, and experiences such as All State. I have attended Caravel Academy since I was in the Blue Room, and have done choir since 4th grade. This year I have been selected to go to the Musical Theater Honor Choir in Rochester through ACDA and later perform in Vienna, Austria in the High School Honor Choir through the Honors Performance series this upcoming summer. This will be my fourth time performing in an ACDA choir, and I am extremely excited to sing with a choir filled with singers from around the world in Vienna! I know that both will be amazing experiences.
