Hey! I’m Emma Archer and I’m a senior this year. I’m excited to be a part of Vocal Impact and Chamber Choir. My other hobbies include acting in Drama Club, dancing, volunteering with House of Champions and Hudson Community First, and playing piano and ukulele. I hope you have a great time in the choir program. This is going to be a great year!

Hi! My name is Megan Archer, and I will be serving as your Vice President this year! I've been involved with choir since 7th grade, and I am so thrilled to continue to be involved throughout my high school years. I've been a part of Vocal Impact, Women's Choir, Concert Choir and this year, I will be joining Chamber Choir. Outside of choir, I am heavily involved in Drama Club, and I'm also a member of Hudson Community First. I am so excited to get to know all of our first year choir members this year and to welcome back all of our veterans. It's going to be a great year of music!

High School Choir Officers
A successful choir program requires student leadership and a culture of committed singers who consistently exhibit character and a strong work ethic. As we strive to build an outstanding choir program at HHS together, serving as a Choir Officer is your chance to help the choir attain musical, personal, and organizational excellence, to bring your own input and influence to the choir’s various activities, to advocate for the choir within the school community, and to help build a positive and supportive student culture within our choir and school.
Participation as a Choir Officer is something that you can put on college, scholarship and job applications, and be proud of the contribution that you make - you will be actively contributing to something bigger than yourself.
A choir student leader should be:
• academically strong
• a self-starter and hard worker
• a creative problem solver
• an advocate for the choir program
• have a great attitude at all times.
Officers are expected to attend ALL choir functions. They should be proactive about anticipating work that needs to get done, and either volunteer for it or delegate choir members to do it. Choir officers are advocates for the choral program among the HHS student body, and the Hudson community.
Application
Choir officer appointments are made in the last few weeks of the school year. Depending on the interest and applications, elections may occur. An application will be posted on the Google Classroom and must be submitted by Wednesday May 18, 2018.
