I’ve been attending the TAP program for six years. I’ve made many new friends, grown my musicality, and learned so much more than I could’ve on my own. My friends and I have always talked about what it would be like leaving this program our senior year of high school and watching the program grow stronger with the younger kids who we would have to leave behind. Unfortunately now, we won’t be able to do that because of the fact that we are only sophomores in high school. Now I’m not so sure if we will even be able to to graduate the proper way due to this “pause.”
I’d like to thank Lou who always made coming here every Saturday fun, and full of different experiences and opportunities. I’d like to thank Nancy for continuing to work with us no matter what. I’d like to thank everyone else who worked behind the scenes as well because as I’ve previously stated, TAP was like a second home to me. It will feel a little weird not having to wake up earlier than normal to visit my friends. I won’t even be able to see some of my friends due to the fact that the only reason we see each other is because of TAP. I’d also like to thank everyone who participated in Trenton Youth Singers with me. To Alyssa and Solan, who have always believed in me and have gotten us to do lots of things that helped us grow together as a group. I hope that even the slightest bit of hope can keep this program alive and going. I am deeply saddened to hear about this pause but I am grateful that I was able to participate anyway.
