Voices In Praise - by the numbers! As we head into our second week of rehearsals, we thought you might like to see the make-up of our registered singers. Check out our seniors, plus charts of our VIPs by grade and self-placement in our Guy/Girl Choirs.

The Class of 2027 is our "Grow as they Go" class. This class has grown every single year. Can you believe not one of these singers was in VIP as a 6th grader? Not one! We're SO grateful that each of these people made their way to VIP.

Can you guess the year of VIP's largest graduating class?! They've held the record for quite some time and while some classes have come close, no one has beaten them -- yet. 🎓

PS - In the spirit of full disclosure, one of our seniors was absent the night we took the photo and because we can't bear to exclude anyone, we used AI to include that person into the photo. 🙂

PPS - We are thrilled to have lots of new friends trying VIP. We only used registered singers in our data charts and an elite category lovingly titled “returning-singers-who-forgot-to-register-but-we-know-they-will.” 🤪

A Director's Note:
My heart is always heavy as we remember September 11. It was a Tuesday—the morning after Voices In Praise began its fourth season. I remember sending our energetic teens home that Monday night, unaware of what the next day would bring. It was, in many ways, the night before the world changed. We remember and hold in prayer all who lost their lives, those who served and sacrificed, and the families forever changed. May we never forget. 🇺🇸

Opening night for VIP was packed with games, music, old friends and new ones, and many of our favorite traditions! 🎶 We’re off to an amazing start. Reminder: no rehearsals on Labor Day. We’ll see you for regular rehearsals on Monday, September 14, 6:15pm - 8pm!

We were so glad that Braden and Tobey, VIP ‘26, were still in town to sing with VIP last weekend. Braden moves into his college dorm tomorrow. Tobey leaves on his mission in just a few weeks. Our other seniors have already moved on to their next chapters. We love you, Class of ‘26! Go conquer the world and wherever you go — may the road forever rise to meet you. 🍀

Back to school means back to your favorite activities! As one VIP singer put it, "I can't wait for VIP! It's the only activity I don't dread." A VERY high compliment indeed. :-) Register now and join us for our first rehearsal on Monday, Aug. 31. https://fs12.formsite.com/wAtwqk/ideszyefqg/index

Way to go, Brighton!

Sheriff Ricky Cox and the men and women of the Calvert County Sheriff's Office would like to graciously thank Brighton Bowie, a junior at Northern High School, for her kind spirit and generous donation of new stuffed animals.

Brighton organized a stuffed animal drive and collected nearly 30 new stuffed animals, which will be placed in patrol vehicles throughout each district.

Deputies will be able to share these stuffed animals with children during emergencies or traumatic situations, offering comfort during difficult moments.

Sometimes, a simple teddy bear can make all the difference to a child in need.

SCO Jessica Jones was happy to accept this thoughtful donation on behalf of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office. Thank you, Brighton, for your generosity, compassion, and support of our community. 🧸💜
