The Jonathan Law Choir has many important events lined up for the school year, such as Hershey Park, Carnegie Hall, and many fundraisers. Advocate staff reporter Samiksha Mehta interviewed junior Faith Mills on her Choir experience.

Samiksha Mehta: Do you feel any pressure on you about going to Hershey? Or anywhere when you’re in Choir?

Faith Mills: Kind of. I mean, there are a ton of really awesome singers in the Choir, and I know for a fact that they can sing better than me, so I can feel the pressure of the audience and the other choir members wanting me to do my absolute best and try my hardest. But then again, the pressure’s not there because it’s also about enjoying yourself and having fun.

SM: You said once that you thought Choir was like family. What do you mean by that?

FM: I mean, Choir is like my second family. They’re always there for me, especially my junior choir friends. Mrs. Jones always helps when I’m in need, choir-related or not-choir-related. I feel like I can really rely on them, go to them whenever I need help.

SM: How well do you think you get along with all the members? Friends? Not friends?

FM: I feel like I’m really good friends with them. They’re super funny and really nice to get along with. Some of them, I have a rocky relationship with, but that’s kind of to be expected since I don’t really know them that well. I try to become friends with some of them, because if you build a healthy relationship with them, I feel like your enjoyment in Choir will be much less painful and pressure-full.

SM: Individually, how do you think Choir is doing so far? And why?

FM: I feel like Choir is doing amazing so far because of the all the fundraisers and all the opportunities we get to sing in front of huge audiences. Sometimes we have our rough moments, but we fix that with a little teamwork. You know, teamwork makes the dream work.

SM: Individually, how well do you think you’ll do at Hershey? Are you confident?

FM: Honestly, I’m kinda nervous. I’ve never been to Hershey Park before and so the opportunity to go is cool and exciting, but the idea of singing there is also kind of nerve-wracking. I guess you could say I’m both excited and nervous.
