Composing A Musical Legacy, Part I: Inside Lakes High School’s Famed Choir

June 7, 2012 by Richard Allen Roe Leave a Comment

LAKEWOOD, WA — As Lakes High School’s Concert Choir files onto the stage, it’s quickly evident that this group of teenagers takes music seriously.

They wear crisp velvet robes in a deep shade of navy and white stoles trimmed in orange. The girls wear flat black shoes; hair up. The boys wear black dress shoes; hair neatly combed.

And then they start to sing.

All it takes is one note to know that yes, indeed, Lakes’ choir is a force to be reckoned with – and it has been since its inception. The choir has the longest known streak in state history for earning “Superior” ratings – the highest possible – at every league event it has attended.
