Choruses Lead the Way - MS Writing Prompt - Due Friday, January 10th

The following video was taken from CBS Sunday Morning a few years back, and describes a report from the organization, Chorus America, that details an increase in the number of people participating in choirs in the US.  It goes on to talk about the benefits of singing, as well as why people choose to participate in our activity.

PLEASE SUMMARIZE THE VIDEO, AND ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:

1. In the video, the narrator discusses the increase in the number of people belonging to choirs in the past few years.  Why do you think that people join singing groups?  Please feel free to include your own reasons for being in our chorus.
2. In the video, some of the people interviewed discuss the reasons why they choose to sing.  Do you agree with them?  Do they share the same reasons you choose to sing in choir, or do you have additional ones?
3. The video discusses that some areas do not have children's choirs in their area (school or community).  What do you think goes into putting a choir together, and how could that be difficult in some areas?
