PARTICIPATION FOR SUCCESS FINE ARTS IS A BEAUTIFUL THING MANY OF US WERE PROBABLY NOT RAISED WITH THE APPRECIATION OF THE ARTS, BUT WE CAN CHANGE THAT YOU CAN MAKE MORE OF A DIFFERENCE FOR YOUR CHILD THAN I CAN. NORTH POLE CHOIR WILL GIVE YOU AND YOUR KIDS THE TOOLS TO EXPERIENCE THE CULTURE OF MUSIC IN DIFFERENT WAYS. I HOPE YOU TAKE THIS AS SERIOUS AS I DO BECAUSE OUR KIDS DESERVE IT.
