The questions/prompts on the following page are there to help guide you through your
essay. Please be mindful throughout your writing that this is to be a non-identifying
essay so it is very important that you not tell us any specific roles you held in Madrigals
or Musicals. We do however want to hear your personal experience and feelings
throughout your time with the PSHS Choral Program. Good luck to you all and again,
we couldn’t be more pleased as your Booster organization to have the ability to award
these scholarships.
