Describe a positive high school role model. What qualities would they possess?
Rosalynn: Punctuality, kindness, sportsmanship, acknowledgment, matureness.
Gracie: A positive role model is not only someone who people can look up to, but also someone who is there for you as well. My personal role model was Maesey last year, and every day I strive to be like her. A role model should point out your mistakes and praise your successes, no matter how small.
Gabbi: Kali Vernon is an excellent role model. She has an outgoing personality, she’s always making sure things are done on time and always making sure everything is in order and everyone acts in order, always helping
Halle: One of my top high school roll models would have to be my English teacher Mrs. Brewer. She possesses the abilities of patience, understanding, and problem solving. I believe these qualities are absolutely needed as a leader. There are times where things can get very complicated and confusing; therefore, everyone needs help and without patience chaos will ensue. You need to be able to explain properly and possibly multiple times for someone to understand since everyone processes things differently. Understanding is also needed as I think you need to be able to get every side of anything to be fair and equal. Not everyone can come from the same background or have the same process or speed of processing. Problem solving is also what I believe is required. Not everything will work out perfectly and being able to work around and or solve issues helps relax not just you but your team. There will always be issues; being able to help anchor and resolve is necessary to any role. Especially when running something such as a chorus, having someone to go to with qualities such as these is what helps run anything, and makes them fit to be a leader.
If elected, what do you as a leader bring to this position that will help to promote growth in the students around you?
Halle: I believe I can help grow this program and grow the people in it. A very wise mentor of mine had brought and idea of choosing a word and working towards that goal. My word for the chorus would be to outreach. I want to show and invite everyone to our family. As well as, I believe we can reach out in our community and to anyone in such a personal way through our chorus. Our chorus is a unit with no end in sight and we can change so much more than just our school. We are something to be proud of and I want everyone to see and only have positive things to say about us. We help heal others and pick up anyone when they think there is no more for them, we go out and help our community and the communities around us, and just so much more.
Rosalynn: I will always be there and be on time and be there for my people
Gracie:If elected, I feel I would bring encouragement and fun to those around me. Sometimes, things can be taken too seriously and sometimes all you need is comedic timing to ease tension. I also feel like some people in our choir are very shy and deserve to be praised for their efforts. I will always offer my advice, musically or personally, and I just want to be a person that people know they can come to with their issues.
Gabbi: My hard working attitude and focus, the dedication and fun chorus can be, constant helping and encouragement
If elected, how will you organize recruiting efforts?
Gabbie: I’d make posters and QR codes, mention the fun we have and family we are, the hard work and dedication we have
Halle: I would love to go to our middle schools around us and show them what we are and what we do. I would love to be able to preform for our communities and show everyone that anyone can do it. I also want to promote around the school whether it be posters, MTV, or a Chorus day where we invite everyone interested to come see us just like we do for band. I would also like to promote out on social media for those chronically on phones so they aren't left out either.
Rosalynn: Put signs up and taking flyers to other schools to promote the Milton High School choir
Gracie:I'm not fantastic at organizing events, but I will definitely work on that skill and be willing and able to assist the elected president. I also have some ideas as far as awareness events that I think would really grow our chorus.

What are some issues within chorus that you feel need to be addressed and how do you feel would be the most beneficial way to address them?
Halle: I feel like there is a bit of a disconnect between classes. I would love to have weekends where we all as a unit spend time doing something together like a bonding activity. Such as, going out and helping set up a community effort (such as a food drive), simply going to the beach together, spending time at a meeting place working on songs, do a yard sale, or really any team building activities.
Rosalynn: : In my class we have no problems
Gracie: I think our classes feel very separated, and I'd like to make us all feel like more of a group. The most beneficial way to address this is to find ways for there to be more engagement and communication between choruses. Maybe we could have a place for people to discuss things worked on in class in a collective forum.
Gabbi: The constant talking when Mrs. White talks, I would make sure everyone comes in ready for the day and quiet so when Mrs. White's ready we can start, making sure everyone is ready to sing and do kodaly
