    Friends of Catawba Music: Catawba Singer Profiles


    AndrewsAllison Andrews '14
    Theatre Education Major

    "I'm in Singers because I honestly love music. It's a great thing to come to when you're having a stressful day. Music is just something that lets you relax. It's a lot of work, but when you create something so beautiful, it just makes everything better."

    BruckerMartha Brucker '16
    Musical Theatre Major

    "My whole life I've been participating in chorus and honestly, I don't know what I would do without it. It has been a milestone for every part of my awkward stages ... I've fought through my weirdness with singing and just letting it out through my voice. You learn how to blend with other people ... to work with other people. It's a team. It's a family. It's all around just one whole body of different voices turning into one."

    ChaffeeMichelle Chaffee '13
    Vocal Performance and Writing Double Major

    "Singing just brings me so much happiness. It's so much fun to do something and to make art, really, with so many other people who love it as well. The choir is such a family ... we're really, really close. It's like making art with your family. It's wonderful."

    ChancePen Chance '15
    Theatre Administration Major

    "It's an overall great experience. I love making music with a lot of great people. The Catawba Singers, in particular, is much different than any choral or music group that I've done in the past. And, I enjoy doing it. It's a release, it's the best medication that I could have. Here [at Catawba], there's such a sense of family that makes it so special."

    FubaraAbiye Fubara '16
    Business Management Major; Music Minor

    "We have a good chemistry. We come together really well. In the Chamber Singers, we do a lot of a capella. I think it's interesting how the human voice can come together like that and sound so well."

    GrifinMorgan Griffin '16
    Interested in Teacher Education

    "I just love singing. It's been a part of my family all my life. I love it ... it really is the highlight of my day. Everyone wants to be the best, and it just sounds so good. Definitely be a part of Singers. It's an amazing experience and you're going to have friends for life."

    GruenewaldAJ Gruenewald '16
    Popular Music Major

    "I've been singing since I was 3 years old, and it's all I've ever wanted to do. Chorus is just one more thing that betters my musical ability and betters me towards what I want to do. It gives me a variety of styles that I can pull from. As a songwriter, I can pull more influence from this choir music."

    LeeHannah Lee '15
    Musical Theatre Major

    "I just really like performing and being on stage and the idea of putting songs together and working so hard all semester. Then, getting to perform them for our parents and our peers and doing a really good job at what we do."

    LugoRichard Lugo '16
    Psychology Major

    "Music has been my passion and part of my life for a long time. That was my weighing factor in choosing a college. So, I had to listen and look at a lot of YouTube videos, to see how good the choir was. [Singing with the choir] is just a warm and welcoming feeling. We just make delicious harmonies. It's nice to be somewhere where people love doing what you do."

    TibbittAshton Tibbitt '14
    Musical Theatre Major

    "[Singing in chorus] gives us opportunities to rehearse and perform regularly. I feel really close to all the people in choir. It's a chance to add to something that's bigger than what you are. It's not just music. It's not just us singing it. Some of it is sacred music that's been around forever. And it's just a chance to be a part of something that will go on after I'm not here."
