Children thankful for choralier experience

Six children from Second Macedonia Baptist Church participated with the Grover and Lula Mae Hill Memorial Choraliers in their recent concert with Beverley Vanessa Hill. They had something special to say about the experience.

“I just wanted to say thank you for choosing me to be in your group. I enjoyed making friends and performing on 13WMAZ. I just wanted to thank Mr. Wade for helping us understand Hebrew and helping us with the song. I wanted to thank Mrs. Beverley Hill for performing with us and buying us McDonald’s. I also wanted to thank all of the parents that helped us with the song and everything else that had to do with the song.” Love, Ajoya McCormick

“What I like about being a Grover and Lula Mae Hill Memorial Choralier is that I get to sing, to be on television, and to meet new people. Most of all, I got to meet opera soprano Beverley Vanessa Hill and baritone Rafael LeBron. I enjoyed working with Wade Elkins, Marcel May, Dr. Richard Mercier, Gloria Davis, Nessie James, my Mom and all of the children. My favorite part of being a choralier is singing. I forgot to say that we would be traveling, sharing and learning while we sing. Thank you to all of the sponsors who helped Ms. Hill’s dream come true for our community.” Brittany Lee-Adams

“What I liked about being a Grover and Lula Mae Hill Memorial Choralier was the chance to play the tambourine and to sing songs. I loved singing the song Do-Di-Li as well as the song Open the Flood Gates of Heaven. I want to be an example to other kids. I also want to be famous just like Ms. Beverley Vanessa Hill and go all over the world. And that is what I like about being a choralier.” Charneshia Wheatley

“I enjoyed singing with the Grover and Lula Mae Hill Memorial Choraliers this year. I learned how to play the tambourine, and to sing opera. I got to be on Channel 13WMAZ News. I got to sing with a famous opera singer named Beverley Vanessa Hill. I had so much F-U-N. I can’t wait until we sing again.” Marquiet James
