MSB ALSO STRIVES TO SERVE THE BROADER COMMUNITY BY OFFERING FACILITIES FOR THE ARTS, CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE, RELIGIOUS GROUPS (INCLUDING THE CONGREGATION OF ST. MATTHEW UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST, THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE MARYLAND BOYCHOIR CENTER FOR THE ARTS), AND LOCAL RESIDENTS - PARTICULARLY THE MAYFIELD COMMUNITY.
Program accomplishments
- THE MARYLAND STATE BOYCHOIR CHORISTERS WERE INTERNATIONAL GOODWILL AMBASSADORS AS THEY VISITED CHILE ON THEIR 2025 SUMMER TOUR. IT WAS AN AMAZING TIME OF GROWTH FOR ALL THE CHORISTERS, STAFF, AND CHAPERONES. THE CONCERT CHOIR VISITED THE MIDWEST, SINGING IN CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE, MACKINAC ISLAND, AND NORTHERN MICHIGAN. THROUGH TOURING, MSB CHORISTERS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP A HIGH LEVEL OF SELFMOTIVATED LEARNING AND SELF-DISCIPLINE WHILE DEMONSTRATING MATURITY AND RESPONSIBILITY AS PERFORMERS. IN ADDITION TO THESE EXTENDED SUMMER TOURS, MSB CHOIRS PARTICIPATED IN FALL AND WINTER WEEKEND TOURS IN THE MID-ATLANTIC AS WELL AS THE YOUNG MEN'S CHORUS FEBRUARY TOUR TO GREENVILLE, SC AND GATLINBURG, TN.Expenses $275,403 · revenue $245,676
- THE MSB RAN THE TRADITIONAL WEEKEND WINTER CAMP THAT ALL CHORISTERS ATTEND AS WELL AS HOSTED THE ANNUAL WEEK-LONG RESIDENTIAL SUMMER CAMP AT SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY. DURING TIME AT CAMP, THE BOYS LEARN NEW REPERTOIRE FOR UPCOMING TOURS AND FOR THE UPCOMING FALL SEASON. THEY ALSO PARTICIPATE IN A NUMBER OF MUSIC AND NON-MUSIC RELATED ELECTIVES, ENJOY PEER-TO-PEER INTERACTION, AND LEARN MANNERS AND SOCIAL SKILLS. THESE TWO CAMPS FOCUS ON TEACHING CHORISTERS SELF-RELIANCE, RESPONSIBILITY, AND INDEPENDENCE. IN THE ANNUAL RITUAL KNOWN AS "SUMMER CAMP," CHORISTERS LEARN HOW TO PUT ASIDE "ME AND BECOME THE REMARKABLE "WE" THAT IS THE KEY TO THE MARYLAND STATE BOYCHOIR.Expenses $71,663
- DURING THE CHORAL SEASON, THE ORGANIZATION TRAINED OVER 100 BOYS IN THE DEMANDING ART OF CHORAL SINGING THROUGH GROUP REHEARSALS AND INDIVIDUALIZED VOCAL LESSONS. TRAINING INCLUDES RECOGNIZING NOTE VALUES AND MUSIC NOTATIONS WITH AN EMPHASIS THAT MUSIC IS A LANGUAGE. THIS YEAR, THE MSB CONTINUED TO FOCUS MORE ON THEORY TRAINING AND MANY CHORISTERS PUT THEIR ALL INTO ADVANCING IN THEIR THEORY KNOWLEDGE. THE INDIVIDUAL DESIRE FOR EXCELLENCE LEADS TO A CULTURE OF COOPERATION AND MUTUAL SUPPORT AS THE CHOIR STRIVES TO PRODUCE THE BEST ENSEMBLE SOUND POSSIBLE.Expenses $574,332 · revenue $281,104
