Junior Boys' Choir - Photo Highlights

The Junior Boys' Choir enjoys fun and fellowship throughout the choir season (September-May) with weekly rehearsals, outreach in the community, social events, a trip to the bell tower, and a year-end party. One of the favorite social events is "Movie Night" in our Seaside Cinema, with games, pizza and a movie with our director, Glenn Miller.

We welcome new choir members in May of each year with a trip up to the bell tower. The Kirk carillon has the world's largest number of bells, and the boys enjoy a turn playing the mechanical keyboard (clavier) in a cabin in the belfry.
