Usage Examples

I was in choir in school. I kind of just did it. I already knew I wanted to sing. My music program in my school wasn't really great - people didn't really want to be part of the choir, they didn't want to do the plays and stuff like that. It definitely wasn't the cool thing to do.

I have such happy memories of performing in a choir and I don't think I'd have got where I am today without all that experience.
