Choirbee of the Week: Monica Groth '19
This week we are celebrating our very own Monica Groth '19! She was elected to be our Choirbee of the Week because she courageously puts forth her best effort during rehearsal, owning her mistakes and proudly singing out. We asked this confident musician a few, fun questions to get to know her better!
1. Where are you originally from?
Upstate, NY. A little town called Aurora in the Finger Lakes Region. Best home on Earth.

10. If you could have fancy brunch with anyone (living or dead) who would it be and why?
I think I'd have to say Abraham Lincoln. I devoured DKG's book Team of Rivals and would want to better understand the inner workings and complexities of Civil War Era politics.
