During the Choir of the Sound tribute to American composers concert series on March 5 and 6, Choir of the Sound carried on its annual tradition of recognizing a couple of graduating seniors from the local area high schools. They believe strongly that singing and producing wonderful music is a life-long endeavor and want to encourage students to continue this pursuit long after high school.

Each student applicant was nominated by their high school choir director and completed an essay on what singing in a choir meant to them. This year COTS presented $1,000 scholarships to John Vogel of Lynnwood High School and Lauren Sweeten of Shorewood High School.
