Parent Involvement The involvement of parents is very important, starting from encouraging the students to practice at school and at home, helping students with make-up during performances, giving input for costumes, meeting deadlines of payment, accompanying the students not only during performances, but during the big competition itself. Their support is definitely irreplaceable. Fund Support and Publication From the beginning, support was not easy to achieve. The commitment of every one involved has made it all possible. As the time went by, more support was gained, partly because the choir had proved itself to be a huge contribution, not only for the school, but for the country as well. Currently, the community sees more of the choir intro news and pictures. In the final analysis, the choir uses their talent to glorify the Lord.
