I have been a member of Seattle Academy's top-performing jazz choir called "The Onions" for three years. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have the opportunity to come to class every day and be surrounded by such a committed and talented group of musicians who want nothing more than to live up to the years-long legacy of The Onions, a group that has routinely won first place at the esteemed Reno Jazz Festival. Below is a sampling of our repertoire from the years that I have been in the group.

"In My Life"
​by The Beatles

At the end of every trimester, my school puts on "End of Tri" where every performing arts class performs in front of the entire school (6th-12th grade). After nearly two full years of virtual videos and performances, I was finally able to sing live with The Onions. I even got to count us in at the beginning!

"Tennessee Waltz"
​by Jacob Collier

This song includes 8-part harmony throughout the piece, 5-part 16th-note quintuplets, and 26 pages of music. This performance opened my eyes to the impact music can have and is a true testament to the musical capabilities of our group.

"Hide And Seek"
​by Imogen Heap

Our video of “Hide and Seek” remains my all-time favorite virtual choir video from The Onions. This song reminds me of a deeply committed group of people that stayed resilient when the world threw us a massive curveball.

"Let It Be"
​by The Beatles

We learned, practiced, and recorded this classic song completely virtually. This video is an incredible demonstration of our hard work and dedication that allowed us to flourish in a pandemic. We even got our video featured on King 5 News!
